New exhibits of art are now on display at Weyburn鈥檚 art galleries.
The Paper Wildlife Conservancy exhibit, by Cate Francis, is on display at the Allie Griffin Art Gallery on the lower level of the Weyburn Public Library for the months of November and December.
There will be an artist reception on Friday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m., and the following day, Francis will put on a screen printing workshop from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Signal Hill Arts Centre.
The price of the workshop was initially $150, but with the support of the Weyburn Arts Council, the price has been reduced to $70, which includes the supplies needed.
In this workshop, you will learn how to screen print an edition of your own hand-drawn original artwork onto paper. The workshop covers image and screen preparation, ink mixing, setting up for printing, and printing a multi-colour edition. The session will include information about how to make your own do-it-yourself print setup.
