Open 10:30–5:00, Tuesday – Saturday
Mid-Term Screen Printmaking Workshop with Moya Gibney
Wednesday 30th October 11.30am-1pm
This workshop is designed for ages 13 to 18 years.
Join printmaker and artist Moya Gibney for a session exploring their practice and a practical printmaking workshop.
In this session Moya will go through the basic ideas and processes of creating an image for printing – splitting an image into layers, bitmap/halftone effect, and layering colours.
Moya will share examples of prints and stencils, and the goal of the session to give young people an understanding of the process and possibilities of screen printmaking.
ABOUT
Moya Gibney is a printmaker from Drogheda who graduated from NCAD with a degree in Fine Art.
Moya is a member of Highlanes Gallery Young Persons Panel (18-30) and of the Highlanes Gallery Amplify: Young People Curatorial Group.
‘through my practice, explore themes of personal identity and gender, with a particular focus on the experiences of gender-queer individuals assigned female at birth.
My work is informed by my own identity as a queer person, and is an outlet for me to explore my own self-concept.
I like to draw from the conventions of art history and pop culture, exploring how perceptions of gender have evolved across cultures and eras. My aim is always to open up a dialogue and evoke critical reflection on gender, beauty, and power.’
Moya Gibney, 2024
