Create a Collaborative Artwork Through Printmaking

Saturday 12 September | 10.30am–3.30pm

Join lead artist and printmaker Amanda Donohue to create a collaborative artwork for See + Hear: Listen to Art — an exhibition programmed for 2027 featuring new work developed through a series of residencies and workshops.

Participants will explore a range of printmaking techniques to create a collaborative artwork on a pianola roll, responding to the theme The Wizard of Oz.

Blurring the boundaries between printmaking, collage and textile arts, the workshop invites participants to experiment with mark-making, layering and image-making.

This workshop is part of Arts Upper Hunter’s 'Death Cycle of a Found Piano' project, presented through its 'Visuaural' program.
