Printmaking Workshop for Adults: New Stillness

Date: 13. 02. 2025
Time: 17:00

We invite you to explore your graphic creativity in a printmaking course under the mentorship of academic painter and printmaker Nataša Mirtič. This time we will play with the still life motif, which has always been a common motif in art and which carries many symbolic meanings. In the course we will focus on the transition from the realistic depiction of objects in still life to an increasingly abstract image, and through the exploration of different techniques discover our own artistic expression.

All those who enjoy being creative and learning new skills are welcome to join us. The course is suitable for beginners as well as for those who have already mastered various printmaking techniques.

The course is organised in cooperation with JSKD OI Krško. It will take place on Tuesdays, 11, 18 and 25 February and 4 and 11 March, at 5 pm, and will last 15 hours (5 sessions of 3 hours each).

The registration fee for the five sessions is 50€. GBJ Friends Club members can benefit from a 20% discount.

Registration and information: dejavnosti@galerija-bj.si or 07 49 88 140.

You are cordially invited!
