A Journey from Concept to Creation: My Second Lino Printing Workshop at Sad Art Gallery
On Friday August 16, I had the honor of leading another lino printing workshop at Sad Art Gallery in Tehran that turned out to be a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship. With around 10 participants we had a journey from concept to crafting a sustainable applicable atrpiece, transforming ideas into beautifully printed tote bags.
The process was both challenging and pleasing. We started with simple sketches, which participants then transferred on their own linoleum sheets. The next step was carving out their designs using tools like scalples and chisels. Once the lino stamps were ready, participants added paint and brought their designs to life on tote bags with small sponges.
What stood out to me most was the diversity of the group. Many of the participants came from non-artistic fields, yet they approached the artistic process with such passion and creativity. It was fascinating to watch them uncover their hidden talents and express themselves in ways they hadn’t before.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to guide such a diverse group through this creative process at Sad Art Gallery. Watching them bring their artistic visions to life was a truly rewarding experience.
