Intro to Collagraph Printing w/ Abbie Mooney

Part of Sunny Bank Mills Print Festival 2025.

Collagraph is a traditional print technique that relies on building layers of texture that can hold ink to transfer your design from plate to paper. During this introductory session, Abbie will guide you through the process of layering textures and marks, and building tone, to create unique printing plates that will then be inked up and hand printed to create a range of original artworks.

Singing Bowl Sound Bath

We open the practice by grounding and feeling into our bodies. A gentle heart coherence breathing practice will help us to drop out of the head and connect as a group. Lying down in a supported Savasana you will be taken on a journey of sound with Himalayan and Crystal Singing bowls. 

We will take time at the end to ground ourselves again before leaving.
