Alebrijes-Inspired
LINOLEUM PRINTMAKING AND COLLAGE
Alebrijes are brightly colored, fantastical creatures from Mexican folk art that often combine features from various animals—real and mythical—into a single, surreal form. Hosting their east coast debut, the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens has multiple larger-than-life alebrijes sculptures currently on display! In this artmaking workshop participants will create alebrijes-inspired drawings, and will use the linoleum relief printmaking process to carve and print their magical animal imagery! We will also use colorful patterned paper to create collages and incorporate the vibrant aesthetic that is characteristic of alebrijes. Finally, we will then linoleum print on top of these collages to bring the whole animal design to life!
