five sessions: February 10, 17, and 24, and March 3 and 10

We invite you to explore printinfg under the mentorship of printmaker Janko Orač. This year’s work will be devoted to the drypoint technique, based on the works and related conceptual and artistic approaches in the oeuvres of Bogdan Borčić and Karel Zelenko. By deepening our skills, we will explore the relationships between line, trace, and void, and develop our own graphic expression in dialogue with the technique.

Anyone who enjoys creative work and learning new skills is welcome to join us. The course is suitable for both beginners and advanced creatives.

The course is being organized in collaboration with JSKD OI Krško.
It will take place on Tuesdays, February 10, 17, and 24, and March 3 and 10, at 5pm, and will consist of 15 hours (5 sessions of 3 hours each).
