Workshop in Large Scale Drypoint on Cardboard with Jenny Robinson
With Jenny Robinson
Sunday 4th -Thursday 8th February 2024. Cost: AUD $1,350
See Terms and Conditions below.
This workshop focuses on a completely non-toxic, low-cost, low-tech approach to making your own Drypoint plates. You will learn the method developed by Jenny Robinson that will enable you to create intricate images that closely emulate traditional etching in a fraction of the time and without the use of expensive, toxic materials, such as acids and rosins.
Through a series of detailed demonstrations, you will learn how to make your own drypoint plates, explore mark making techniques using a wide range of tools and textures, and develop wiping techniques to create tone and atmosphere. You will be given two cardboard plates to work on to make one larger image which we will then print on the large press.
This workshop is limited to 5 participants to ensure that all artists get the most intensive experience from this masterclass, with time and space to develop a small varied edition of large drypoint prints.

CBD Gallery: Selected, curated by Andrew Totman
Selected-a curated Photography & Printmaking exhibition
CBD Gallery
72 Erskine Street Sydney1st Feb -3rd March 2024
Selected is an opportunity to see into the practice of 22 contemporary artist exploring and thriving in using the medias of Printmaking and Photography across 52 images on display.
Curated by Andy Totman, the show features Sydney Printmakers members Anthea Boesenberg, Rafael Butron, Ben Rak, Jenny Robinson, Mark Rowden, Gary Shinfield, and Anne Starling.
Photography and printmaking are similar in that they both have the capability to reproduce an image multiple times with very little variation in the resulting print. However, photography came about through the desire to create exact visual replicas of forms and scenes without manual intervention, while printmaking originally aided the production of photographic illustrations in books by providing a stronger, non-light sensitive ink. Despite this, the two can exist harmoniously together, and photography provides a whole spectrum of new techniques for the printmaker to use in their artworks.

Some of us might recognise ourselves in these photographs!
When:
26 February – 14 June 2024
Where:
Level 5 Main Library
Law Library
Paddington Library
Partner:
UNSW Records & Archives
Protests & Pranks, for the first time, will span all three UNSW Libraries. At UNSW Main Library, the exhibition shifts between global and hyperlocal protest movements. Protests & Pranks reveals how students mobilise to effect change, from the worldwide campaigns against the Vietnam War to student demonstrations in response to university policies. UNSW Law Library features tactical frivolity, the playful, non-compliant side of student resistance that manifested in pranks and stunts designed to provoke and challenge authority. The display at UNSW Paddington Library contains materials from recent climate rallies and political demonstrations to show how students utilise protests as a form of activism to bring about reform.
The exhibition features photos, videos, oral histories, newspaper clippings, and protest ephemera, including posters, badges, and pamphlets. These materials help to piece together the shared concerns, movements, and cultural identity of UNSW.
Accessibility: UNSW Main Library, UNSW Law Library, and UNSW Paddington Library are wheelchair accessible. The exhibition will include large-text artwork labels and booklets, audio-described guides, and braille exhibition guides.

Inheritance & Innovation: Mokuhanga Artists Explore Japanese Paper
The Fifth International Mokuhanga Conference will be held in Echizen City, home of the Okamoto-Otaki shrine dedicated to the goddess of papermaking. The province of Echizen is renowned for its production of Japanese washi and other traditional crafts.
This conference will focus on Japanese traditional papermaking and the innovative use of handmade washi by contemporary mokuhanga artists. Artists and papermakers will come together for demonstrations and workshops by expert craftspeople, along with an open portfolio session and a product showcase. Workshops will include papermaking, paper sizing, and test printing on Echizen paper.
This will be an excellent opportunity to appreciate the wide variety of Japanese papers and to learn about the history of papermaking in Japan. International mokuhanga artists will be invited to submit work for a juried exhibition of small works. The conference will be followed by an optional bus tour to Nara, with visits to traditional sumi ink workshops and museums.
Details will be posted on 2024.mokuhanga.org as they become available.
