Dundarave Print Workshop + Gallery

Jennifer Love is back at Dundarave Print Workshop for two days of workshops exploring the possibilities of gel-plate monoprinting. Whether you're new to gel printing or an experienced printmaker looking to expand your techniques, these workshops offer plenty of room for experimentation and discovery.
Sat, Sept 5, 2026, 10am-4pm: The Fundamentals: Colour blending and gradations, using found textural items, masks and stencils, the use of different viscosity paints, and registering multiple layers. No prior experience needed.
Sun. Sept 6, 2026, 10am-4pm: Beyond the Basics: Resist/transfer printing with a variety of methods including using laser prints of your own drawings or photographs, reverse painting and charcoal transfers. Combining multiple techniques and layers in a single-pull print, adding colour with Pan Pastels and felt markers and using the gel plate in a more painterly way will also be explored. Some familiarity with the basics is recommended.
Jennifer will provide extra acrylic paints, stencils, stamps, rollers, etc but you must bring your own gel plate, brayer,
paper and some paints. She will email students with details and to advise on images for the laser print transfers.
Jennifer has been an artist and teacher for over 40 years. She studied textile arts at Capilano College in North Vancouver and was a founding member of Foxglove Fibre Arts Studio/Gallery on Bowen Island. From 2004 to 2014, she was the BC Representative for the international organization, Surface Design Association (SDA). She has exhibited and taught workshops on the Sunshine Coast, Vancouver Island, Bowen Island, Saltspring Island, Vancouver and Calgary.

There are still spots available for our last workshop of the summer! Intro to Reduction Prints with Christina Radvak 🌺

Reduction prints are great for creating a mutli-coloured print using only one block. It's a great way to layer colours and learn how to make more complex designs and bring your printmaking to the next level.

This is an intermediate class, so having completed at least one linoprint previously will be advantageous. During this 3 hour class, we will create a 2-3 layer reduction print either from a template or from a design of each student’s choosing. With a 6:1 student-to-instructor ratio, students will get maximum support and fun in a low pressure environment!

All materials will be provided and students will get the opportunity to work with professional grade materials and choose their own colour palettes.

Too hot outside? We've got air conditioning. 😎

Come cool off while exploring our All Members Summer Show, featuring a diverse collection of original prints created by Dundarave Print Workshop members.

Open daily from 10 AM–6 PM. Stop by, enjoy the art, and escape the heat for a while!

The All Members Summer Show is officially open at Dundarave Print Workshop + Gallery!

This show is packed with an incredible array of prints by our members, and even a few of our volunteers! We are open 10-6 everyday, come by and pickup a print for yourself, or a loved one.

Looking for something to do this weekend? Come by and see Taryn Walker’s exhibition, Traffic Noise & Field Notes! Open until June 14th 🦝

Traffic Noise & Field Notes marks a culmination of Walker’s artistic inquiry into our relationship to past, present, and future, and the BC landscape (urban and otherwise) through the medium of print. Highlighted in this exhibition are many prints from Walker’s MFA thesis, S/núye Built My Time Machine, which is a body of work that investigates art-making as a strategy for both locating and creating sites of futurity through transformations of the everyday. With images and materials derived from urban landscape, this series of laser-etched woodblock prints reflects on the parts of our world that reveal glimmers of infinite potential futures. These are glimmers that manifest in often mundane and unexpected ways, whether that be traffic cones in fantastical formations or crows tussling with a bag of chips. These moments are reinvented as otherworldly images and objects that blur the lines between reality and fiction, traditional and contemporary, material and technology. Here time is imagined outside of colonial structures and vibrates in a tangle of past, present, and future. S/núye Built My Time Machine poses the questions: “What is possible?” “What is present?” and most importantly, “Are you ready to step into the portal?”

Taryn Walker (they/she) is an award-winning q***r, interdisciplinary mixed-Indigenous artist of Nlaka’pamux, Syilx, and European ancestry currently based in the unceded territories of the xwməθkwəy ̓ əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səl ̓ ílwətaɬ Nations. Their work explores themes of futurity, spiraling time, utopia, tenderness, playfulness, healing, and cycles of life and death through drawing, printmaking, installation, video, and sound.

In 2018, Walker graduated from the University of Victoria’s BFA program with a Major in Visual Arts and a Minor in Art History & Visual Studies. In December 2024, Walker completed their MFA at Simon Fraser University in Interdisciplinary Contemporary Arts. Walker’s work has been presented in spaces, residencies, and events across Canada, the United States, and beyond.

Join us tonight, May 27th, for the opening reception of Traffic Noise & Field Notes from 7-9pm 🗒️
