Demonstrations are another key component of Wayzgoose, and we have three demonstrations this year. Paper marbling, paste papers, and linocuts to be precise! This is your chance to see the creative process hands on and ask any questions you might have.
Demonstrations:
Phyllis Greenwood on marbling
Reg Lissel on paste papers
Gary Sim on linocuts
Stay tuned as there will be even more to follow as the date approaches.
