Saturday and Sunday, January 25th & 26th: Relief prints on Fabric | 10:00am to 2:00pm w/visiting artist Natalie Woodlock at The Sou’wester Lodge Pavilion. 3728 J Pl Seaview, WA. Ages 12+ w/an adult or ages 14+.
In this 2-day workshop we’ll make a small (9″ x 6″) decorative wall hanging, celebrating something or someone that is iconic to us. We’ll start by carving an image into a linoleum block, then hand-print it onto fabric. Using a template, we’ll cut the fabric into a decorative shape, sewing the edges with fringe and trim. Students will take home a decorative wall hanging of their own design, as well as extra prints on fabric.
Natalie Woodlock is a printmaker who explores queer subculture in her work. She creates heraldic and commemorative silkscreened portraits of queer friends on satin banners. Her work has been exhibited most recently at Maxon Mills (Wassaic NY), The Front (New Orleans LA), SPACE (Portland ME) and The Bureau of General Services – Queer Division (NYC NY). She has been an artist in residence at Women’s Studio Workshop, The Ellis Beauregard Foundation, Vashon Island AIR, Anderson Ranch, Jentel and UCROSS. Natalie graduated from The University of New Orleans with an MFA in Printmaking in 2018, and has since been involved in many print studios and programs. In 2022 she completed The Postgraduate Training Apprenticeship Program at The Fabric Workshop and Museum (Philadelphia PA) and in 2021 she was awarded a Print Fellowship at The Wassaic Project (Wassaic NY). She is currently working on her first artists’ book, “Brokeback Mountain”, a work that illustrates scenes from Ang Lee’s 2005 tearjerker that brought audience members to tears at screenings she organized.
