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.
