Experimental Typography Printmaking Workshop with Emily Floyd

Emily will introduce participants to techniques in a workshop inspired by her use of language and texts to create works that aim to initiate discussions about contemporary social, cultural and political ideas. Participants will experiment with font, colour, shape and size to learn basic relief and screen-printing skills to make their own graphic posters using ink on paper.

EMILY FLOYD is renowned for her text-based sculptures and pedagogically inspired works that combine formal concerns with an interest in the legacies of modernism. Her work engages a wide range of disciplines and endeavours including public art and social activism, design and typography, literature and cultural studies, community participation and public education, and various political ideologies. Intersecting public space with carefully considered design, Emily creates bold spaces for public engagement and interaction.
