Winner for PCANZ Summer School Scholarship 2018

Congratulations to Colleen Eason of Greymouth, who has won the scholarship to assist a printmaker to attend PCANZ Summer School in January 2019 in Christchurch. The scholarship is partly funded by Thompson Presses ($300) and PCANZ, including a year’s subscription.
Colleen has recently completed her studies and now teaches printmaking at Tai Poutini Polytechnic on the West Coast, as well as aspiring to teach others in workshops and evening classes.
While studying, her printmaking tutors at CPIT included Michael Reed, Dee Copland & Sandra Thompson. Colleen’s favoured medium is silk screen printing, as well as relief and monoprint.

“My screen-printed works are one-of-a-kind original prints using silkscreens and textiles. I use ink, on a range of fabric or canvas to create these images.”
