WordplayPrint!

With Lucy Grainge 

 

WordplayPrint! sessions took place between January - March 2026 at Mitcham Library.  

 

This series of creative workshops was open to anyone who felt like language has been a barrier to them and/or was interested in exploring language in a creative way through visual art. Led by artist Lucy Grainge, participants were encouraged to be playful and experimental with words through a variety of printmaking techniques and creative writing activities, culminating in a collaborative art display at the library in March 2026.
