Paper Works Workshop with Bruce Reynolds

Participants will be lead through a combination of techniques by artist Bruce Reynolds to combine different media with new approaches to decision making.

Printing without a press, stencil use and collage are processes included to contribute to image making in ways that encourage more personalized outcomes and that may reveal further directions in the participants art making.

Creative experimentation and production often requires swapping work modes from preparation to production to clean up and back. This is more of a cycle than a one-way sequence and participants should be prepared to change from modes or media to find the most engaging outcomes. A combination of intuitive pleasure and good housekeeping is required. All materials are supplied.

Bruce Reynolds studied at the ANU School of Art, ACT, and at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne. Now based in Brisbane, Bruce’s career spans more than 30 years in Australia and abroad as an arts practitioner and educator (ANU School of Art through the 1980s and more recently at the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University from 1986 to 2006).
