Studio One Toi Tū
Formative Drawing  + Print Workshop  with Gab  Stoddard
Formative Drawing + Print Workshop was facilitated by Grace Mirams at Studio One Toi Tū in collaboration with Creative Arts Therapist Gabrielle Stoddard. The workshop explored drawing as an embodied and process-based practice, using gesture, repetition, and mark-making as pathways into print.
        Through a series of experimental drawing exercises, participants were encouraged to work intuitively across pencil, charcoal, ink, and monotype print processes. Referencing artists and writers including Yvonne Rainer and Hannah Bres, the workshop focused on flow states, movement, material play, and the relationship between body, gesture, and image-making.

       Participants moved through a series of rapid drawing exercises before translating selected marks into monotype prints. Working across pencil, charcoal, ink, and hand-pressed and press-based techniques, the session emphasised process, surface, and the relationship between drawing, printmaking and assemby of works through traditional Japanese bookbinding techniques.
