In years gone by, printmakers’ apprentices were considered black imps, often working in secret, travelling and printing propaganda material, and bringing new ideas to the people. The Black Arts, as printmaking was once known, will be demonstrated in public by local artist Rhyll Plant on the steps of the Castlemaine Market Building.

Rhyll Plant is well known for her humorous turn of phrase and Escher-like interpretations. Rhyll will demonstrate the very fine art of wood engraving and printing of blocks on a small press. There will be a number of free original Rhyll Plant prints given away.
