Wood Carving for printmaking

Wood Carving for printmaking

I Have been working as an art educator for 18 years, leading art workshops in Brasil and abroad for different age groups and cultural programs. I was born in Rio de Janeiro, a city of approximately six million people, with a pluralistic cultural scene, history, architecture and music.

In 1994, I entered Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro as a history major and in 2012 I enrolled in the Universidade Federal of Espirito Santo (UFES) in the Visual Arts and Art Education Program.

In 2008 I entered University of Oregon in the US for my MA in Arts Management.

I will reception the guests in my home and art studio we will get to know each other's interests and engage into a hands on activity involving wood printing technique. After a few instructions the guest will create its own art and start executing it on the wood matrix. After working on the final touches the guest will print a copy of its own.
