About this event

Join Del Rio Trail Artist Ambassador, Peter Foucault, with his custom Trail Tales bike and trailer for a linocut printmaking workshop near the Del Rio Trail.

Participants will make their own linocut print, created by carving an image into linoleum, applying ink to the raised surface, and pressing paper onto the carved block to transfer the inked image. Participants will create linocut relief prints depicting objects they encounter along the trail or imagery inspired by its natural beauty. They will have the option to embellish pre-screen printed posters from the Trail Tales project with their linocuts or print their designs on blank pieces of paper.

Each participant will take home their posters and linoblocks, as well as contribute to an overall archive of the Trail Tales project by printing their images alongside fellow participants on a large sheet of paper. This workshop is designed to be accessible to all skill levels and fosters a supportive environment for participants to print and swap their creations with others. Attendees also have the option to carve two different blocks if desired.

This is a great opportunity to catch Peter on his custom, vintage, cherry red Trail Takes bike which he has ridden throughout the Del Rio Trail’s neighborhoods, making art with new friends along the way.

About this event

Join Del Rio Trail artist ambassador, Rosalva Willow, to explore the captivating world of cyanotype photography, enjoy the nature on the Del Rio Trail, and connect and collaborate with fellow community members. 

This workshop will begin with an introduction to the history and process of cyanotype. This introduction will be followed by a guided walk along the trail, where we will engage with the environment, collecting leaves, flowers, and other natural elements for our cyanotype prints. 

After the walk, we will create our own unique, cyanotype prints using collected natural elements. We will use pretreated photosensitive cyanotype paper, arrange our collected items on the paper and expose them to the sun for development (exposure time will vary depending on the weather and time of day, 10-20 minutes).

We’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate on a larger, shared cyanotype project, fostering teamwork and a sense of community. The workshop will conclude with a collective review of the prints created, where we’ll share our experiences, ideas, and feelings about the workshop and the new Del Rio Trail.
