Explore your creative side, expand technical abilities, refine theoretical knowledge and practical skills, and try new things in Tuggeranong Arts Centre’s Winter season of short courses.

Especially designed for curious adults who are keen to extend their creative art practice, TAC’s upcoming season of six-week classes are an opportunity to explore new techniques without having to purchase expensive materials and equipment.

Peter Mclean: Go With The Grain

A six-week introduction to print making using mini presses and your own hand carved wood blocks. Beginning with a black and white print, embellish your image and expand the technique week by week with colour using stencils and overprinting. Over the course participants will develop a multi-colour design using the reduction method to produce a short run of editioned prints to take home and share with family and friends.

Peter McLean has a deep affinity for nature and the environment. Working across a range of printmaking techniques, drawing and installation, he explores the materiality of nature and our physical, emotional, and spiritual relationships with wild places. His practice combines traditional techniques and craftsmanship, a sense of play and willingness to experiment and a desire for his materials to be given equal voice as collaborators in his making process. Since graduating from ANU School of Art in 2010 he has maintained an active practice including numerous solo and group exhibitions, residencies, and teaching engagements at Megalo Print Studio, ANU and interstate.
