Kathleen Bunin graduated from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design with an MFA, as a mature student, in 1995. I have taken courses and workshops in visual arts, weaving, pottery, photography, woodworking and printmaking. I have taught myself other arts/crafts like basket weaving, sewing, knitting and crochet. Recently had an Eco Printmaking Residency in the City of Fredericton at their Odell Park Summer Arts and Craft Project. Have also had a Pottery Residency and sale at the Cape Breton Centre for Arts and Crafts.
Workshop Description
Workshop Description
We will start with an introduction to the art and examples of Kathleen's work. The group will then layer plant material between sheets of watercolor paper, immersing them in boiling water with a mordant and a natural colorant. After one hour or so, the plant material is separated from the paper to reveal the print which has emerged due to the chemical processes of tannins and colorants. Papers are then dried and can be used as bookmarks, matted as art work or made into cards and tags. While things are boiling the group can learn more about the printmaking process, mordants, tannins, and colorants and which plants or flowers yield the best results
