4 Moores Exhibition Collaborative Project #1 & #2 Above image: The Collaboration Project #2 progress as of August 6th at the Skill Sharing Session. Sixteen PAWA members have participated. We will be putting it together on Sat 13th, to be ready for the Moores exhibition on the 19th August. It will measure 1650 x 1330 mm. " Collaboration project #1 is a reduction wood-cut installation and will be on display at the Print Media Awards at Moores Gallery in August. The intention of this work is to lead people along the walls of the upstairs spaces and into other gallery rooms. " Project # 1 and # 2 will not be part of the Print Awards for judging, but as a display only. It will be available to purchase in sections and proceeds go towards the PAWA studio supplies. Print Tip of the month from Elmari Steyn: Warm up 2 small wheat bags in the microwave. Place them around your Hard Ground container for a few minutes..(loosen the lid to let gasses escape). Now your Hard Ground will flow easier. It will also last longer. A wonderful link to a short MOMA video about Degas and Monoprints. Worthwhile watching. 4

8 Jan 2017 Lino Cut Workshops with Shana James in Ubud, Bali 8th 16th January Book now as places are limited to just 12 participants. To register your name and contact details to: " A Rejuvenating Art Experience. Immerse yourself in the art of linocut printing. Surrounded by the artistic culture in Ubud you will discover the secrets of linocut. Be inspired and invigorated by this creative journey. All materials provided and accommodation is at the beautiful Arma Resort. Breakfast, lunch and pick up from the airport included. Also included entry to the Arma Museum during your stay and an Arma Museum guided tour." This workshop is an ideal forum to expand linocut skills while engaging in a new environment with students from diverse backgrounds. While beginners will be given step by step instruction more advanced students will be encouraged to work on their own ideas. The cultural input from Bali- this small but intensely artistic place is an interesting exchange for those of us in the west who often have little knowledge of Asian cultures and philosophy. This input can be particularly invigorating for artists who are encouraged to further develop their own thematic concerns and to look at their own work in a new way with the benefit of this perspective." 8
