Print Studio Doors Open: Final pop-up presentation of the printmaking courses of the 2022/23 season

As part of Summer Museum Night 2023, we are organising the final pop-up presentation of the printmaking courses of the 2022/23 season. The event is also part of a Lifelong Learning Week (LLW), the most prominent promotional campaign in the field of education and learning in Slovenia. We will have the opportunity to view a selection of work by the course participants in a relaxed atmosphere and talk about our experiences and practices. 

From February to June this year, MGLC held a 50-hour Beginners and a 50-hour Advanced Course in printmaking techniques. The Beginners course introduced participants to screenprinting, woodcut, linocut (in combination with collage) and collagraphy. The Advanced Course imparted knowledge of etching and reservage, lithography, aquatint and drypoint. 

The Beginners Course was conducted by Jakob Puh, art teacher and head of the MGLC Print Studio, Nina Koželj, printmaker, sculptor and art teacher, Silvester Plotajs Sicoe, academy-trained painter and printmaker, and Sonja Vulpes, visual artist and printmaker. The Advanced Course was led by printmakers and art teachers Monika Plemen and Alja Košar. Course coordination: Lili Šturm, Museum Adviser.

Beginners Course: Anja Pirnat, Špela Prezelj, Paola Rodman, Mihaela Žitko, Hana Kunčič, Mira Resnik, Vera Martinovič, Mitja Kokol, Zala Gruden, Lara Zupan and Nastja Bric. Advanced Course: Maja Ljubič, Vera Martinovič, Nejc Frumen, Urban Cerjak, Maja Kuhar, Hana Šebalj and Sarah Ghandour.
