Collaborative Workshop: Psychedelic Print Shark
Following the talk, you’ll have the chance to collaborate on creating a psychedelic print shark! Inspired by Ryan’s own reduction relief print, this workshop will allow participants to screenprint Ryan’s psychedelic patterns, layering up colours and shapes which we’ll then cut and arrange to form the shark’s shape. With the finished piece nearly 4 meters long, your contribution will become part of a large-scale installation.
