Puzzle Printing is a playful series of hands-on printmaking workshops where you’ll turn simple shapes into bold, stylised artworks, one puzzle piece at a time. Perfect for adults and beginners, the theme for this 3-hour class is Happy Houseplants!
Your tutor for this workshop is experimental printmaker Rachael Lee who will guide you through this exciting process.
Create your own handmade prints using your original drawing of your favourite potted plant or a photo reference, or use one of the simple designs that Rachael will supply.
During this class you'll create your own jigsaw-style design, add tactile textures, ink it up, and print your unique creation — no experience needed, just a love of creativity and colour.
At the end of the class, you’ll take home your unique textured printing plates and a collection of beautiful prints that will delight your family and friends as bespoke gifts, or frame them for yourself to enjoy as unique artworks reflecting your love of plants!

Location

Art from the Urban Wilderness at Hive Studios - Hive Studios, Unit 13/10 Depot Street, Banyo QLD

The studio is located in a commercial complex on the corner of Earnshaw Road and Depot Street, near the old Golden Circle Cannery. As you enter the complex, look for the number #13 and the Art from the Urban Wilderness signs. There are 3 onsite car parks. During the week, we recommend you park on the road and walk up the driveway. If you have lots of gear you can drop it off and then park. If you need to park close to the door for accessibility reasons, let us know prior so we can reserve a park for you. On weekends or after hours, you can park within the complex in a marked car parking bay (not in front of roller doors), as its very quiet then.

Your teacher can also travel within 50 kms of Banyo, to a venue of your choice for a private class.

Rachael Lee approaches her art practice with the same curiosity that she brings to exploring her local natural surroundings. She works with non-toxic experimental printmaking techniques, creating layered works using linocut, etched linocut, stencils, collagraph, drypoint and monoprinting. By combining shape, line and texture in her prints she seeks to highlight the underlying patterns, rhythms and soothing effects of nature.

Rachael is passionate about sharing her printmaking knowledge and over the last ten years has exhibited, given artist talks and run workshops for teachers, students and community groups in Southeast Queensland.
