Printing workshops with the participation of school students and other visitors, by Katerina Stefanidaki and Zafos Xagoraris.
A series of desks and school chairs accommodate the participants, who have at their disposal a large number of magnetic geometric surfaces of different sizes and shapes. These magnetic shapes are composed on metal plates, in order to create ephemeral printing matrices. The matrices are then inked and printed on paper, producing original images. The papers are hung in a row to dry, and at the end those who participate are able to take the prints home with them. Some of the compositions will be used to create a documentation print in limited, numbered copies.
