Her series MAYDAY – MAYDAY (I, II, III) comprises three etchings inspired by the emotional memories evoked by landscapes. Through an experimental printing process, Yvonne explores the open sea as a space of reality, imagination and poetics.

Workshop: Basic Etching on zinc plates
🗓️ Sat. 31 October, 10:00—14:30
👤Max. number of participants: 5
✨Level: Beginners & Intermediate

In this workshop, we’ll cover the basics of etching and aquatint on zinc starting from your own drawing. You will learn how to polish and degrease the plate, etch lines with hard ground and copper sulphate, how to create different greyscales with aquatint, and how to print on paper with the etching press.

Etching is a traditional intaglio printmaking technique. In it, lines and textures are engraved over a zinc plate, allowing the incised areas to hold ink. The technique is suitable for illustrative and abstract artworks.

🎟️ Workshop fee: €110

The workshop fee covers most of the printing materials for the session, and you will get one extra day for free in the AGALab workshop to come back and experiment further!

💛What’s included:
Introduction to Etching on zinc.
1 master
Ink (black)
Paper, tools, and materials

⚠️ Important:
You must bring a drawing or idea for a project that you would like to reproduce on your plate. (maximum A5)
We will do a maximum of three aquatint baths, which means that you can have a maximum of three grey levels.

📄 You go home with:
Your etched plate, which can be used again
A set of 2-3 prints of your own design

A look back at our September Artist-in-Residence exhibition at De Bouwput, featuring , Sandra Porter and Kae Kishimoto | Oni Girl Press.

Throughout September, the residents spent time printmaking, developing their projects, and working alongside our community. These exhibitions offer a glimpse into these processes, presenting works-in-progress alongside pieces created during their time in the workspace.

Thanks to all who came by!

In this masterclass, we’ll do a deep dive into silkscreen printing techniques through hands-on practice, creating prints from your own image, text, or drawing. You’ll experience an in-depth exploration of the process, from preparing your file and exposing the screen to experimenting with different printing techniques and printing on a variety of materials.
Silkscreen printing is a versatile stencil-based technique that allows for bold graphic results, layered colours, and making editions. The technique is widely used in art, publishing, textiles, and poster-making, and is suitable for both photographic and hand-drawn imagery.

🎟️Workshop fee: €180
