Join Dublin Print Club, at FLUX D2 this May Bank holiday for some creative, nature based workshops in celebration of Bealtaine.

They say that herbs collected and potions brewed at Bealt aine have greater powers and potency! That’s why we think this a great tim e to have a radical rethink of how we work, and to set intentions to work with greater care, and stronger connections to the land around us, whether we live in the wilds or in urban settings where cracks in the concrete ho st micro jungles.

Celebrating Bealtaine, the ‘Return of the Light’ and the beginning of the summer, Dublin Print Club Studio will host a mini festival exploring Bota nicals in Printmaking with visual artist and master printmaker Karen Browe tt. We are offering a weekend of Bealtaine themed workshops exploring more ecologically sound and lopwer impact ways of making art, using cyanotype and anthotype processes, both of which are used to create ‘photogram’ styl ed prints.
