Workshop // Connections! Printmaking with Georgina Evans

$10 members, $15 non-members, all ages, no experience required, Bookings essential
Join Georgina Evans, a We Are Studios artist, for a relaxed, interactive printmaking workshop at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery. Connections! invites participants to slow down, tune into the natural world, and translate personal experiences of nature into bold, graphic prints.
Using accessible foam board printmaking techniques, Georgina will guide you through designing, inking and printing your own unique artwork. No prior experience is needed – just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to explore how you view and feel the environment around you.
This workshop is supported by We Are Studios.
About the Artist
Georgina Evans is a multi-modal artist, with an integrated approach to weaving, textiles, painting and drawing. A keen observer, Georgina expresses what she sees and also what she feels, physically and emotionally through her work.
She is influenced by the natural environment and her love of transformation within nature. Through experimental techniques such as eco dying, reusing and recycling, Georgina reinterprets her materials, giving them new life.
Working collaboratively as a community based artist, Georgina shares her creative process within spaces of safety and belonging, where people can connect through making art together. Georgina is an artist at We Are Studios.
About the Exhibition
We Are Studios: Acts of Inheritance
Acts of Inheritance presents new work from seventeen Disabled artists who explore identity as something lived, layered and continually remade. We come to know ourselves through small, everyday acts and performances – our own and those of others, families, cultures and communities as they leave their mark upon us.
Some artists revisit family stories or inherited acts; others reflect on Disability, mental health, and shifting perceptions of self and how we perform it. Here, inheritance is not fixed or predetermined, but enacted through the choices we make, the stories we tell and the ways we show up for one another.
Through these works, Acts of Inheritance invites us to imagine identity as something performed in ongoing dialogue between who we have been, who we are becoming and the worlds that shape us.
We Are Studios is a 100% Disability-led, artist-run initiative empowering Disabled Western Sydney artists to thrive.
