Monique Martin and Michael Peterson from the Saskatchewan Printmakers Association (SPA) will lead a relief printing workshop, inviting the community to help print a 62.7 m long wheat field – referencing the 627 km length of the Saskatchewan border with the USA. Students from Georges Vanier Elementary School have hand carved stamps of wheat sheaves, birds, and animals. Participants will be shown how to use these both to contribute to the large wheat field and to create their own prints. Non‐toxic inks will be used for safe and easy clean-up.

You can also take part in this project on Friday, September 25 from 4 – 6 pm at The Eye Gallery at the official launch of the Saskatchewan Printmakers Association.
