Participants will explore objects of personal significance, selecting a piece of their own or borrowed jewellery to use as the basis for this printmaking workshop.

Items of jewellery will be translated into two-dimensional prints, exploring scale, pattern, colour. The workshop will guide participants through the steps of translating their chosen object into a printed artwork, first sketching their designs and then working with soft rubber to carve bespoke stamps for printmaking.

Please bring in a small item of jewellery, or a photo of a piece of jewellery to use as inspiration for your artwork.

Artist Bio

Monica Rani Rudhar is an artist working on Gadigal Land across video, performance and sculpture. Born to Indian and Romanian migrant parents, her work speaks to longing and loss as she navigates the cultural disconnection that stems from the complexities of her multi-racial ethnicity.

Her work is delicately personal and takes the shape of a restorative autobiographical archive that seeks to record her own histories where these stories can exist permanently, unlike those that have been passed down orally from her family which remain fragmented.

Her practice attempts to restore familial histories, traditions and rituals that have been dispersed by migration and draws on the labour required to move passed the barriers that stand in the way of reforging these connections.
