Poster Making with Careful Now! Collective

Sunday 17 April, 2022 @ 14:00 - 17:00

Pay-what-you-can

Posters have a venerable history as the crossroads of art and politics, creating understanding and solidarity. It was then: Paris in ’68, the Vietnam War, it is now: Occupy, Extinction Rebellion.

Careful Now! Collective are creating a space to practice with basic artistic techniques to help keep the art of DIY poster-making alive. There’ll be some pre-made stencils ready to use, but you’ll be learning to make your own with two techniques – ‘negative’ stencil cuts and lino, which combine beautifully. You’ll also get tips for how to do this at home with basic DIY equipment.

Our workshops are pay-what-you-can – we recommend £4 but no-one will be turned away through lack of funds. Book your timeslot (14:00, 15:00 or 16:00) in advance or drop in and pay on the door if there are spaces left.

Use our materials, share some knowledge if you want (each one, teach one), make a poster with us. Careful Now! is an art and workshopping collective in Bristol.

The School of Activism 3.0 is a month long programme of workshops, talks and activities brought to you by Peoples Republic of Stokes Croft. Running at PRSC during April 2022, the events are intended to be empowering experiences equipping people with the tools to challenge the status quo, contest power structures and ultimately to change the world.

We learn by doing.
We make our own future.

This project is founded on the ethos of community inclusion and empowerment, so we offer pay-what-you-can solidarity pricing with no-one turned away through lack of funds. Please donate to help us keep the School of Activism affordable to all!
