Description
Slow down and reconnect through mindful making. Join local artist Aprille McShane for a gentle, hands-on printmaking workshop exploring the calming art of pochoir monotype. Through simple collaging and thoughtful ink application, you'll create your own unique, one-of-a-kind prints. No experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to slow down.

Maker
I am an artist and printmaker deeply inspired by nature and the ever-changing seasons. Currently, my work is focused on exploring the Porter Valley, with particular attention to its woodlands and the flowing river that shapes the landscape. Teaching plays a vital role in supporting my creative practice, providing me with the opportunity to share my passion for printmaking with others. From my ground-floor art studio in Greystones, I am thrilled to offer my expertise in relief, intaglio, and planographic printmaking techniques, fostering creativity and skill in those eager to learn.
