Course Description
Block printing on textile typically entails the stamping of a block doused in ink or paint onto fabric.
In this workshop, participants will get the opportunity to hear artist Sunaina Bhalla share her artistic process, methods, and impetus behind her work, Sharps and Such, which will be exhibited at the Objectifs Women in Film and Photography Showcase 2023. They will get the chance to hear more about her decision as a cancer survivor in using repetitive woodblock prints of her ultrasound scans to reflect the transformative process that her body has undergone after medical treatment, along with the shadows and fear that linger.
Participants will also get to try their hand at woodblock printing on fabric while taking part in a discussion about the use of fabric and print in relation to the female body. Participants will get to keep the fabric they work on during the session, which can be used as a scarf etc.
