Come and see Nan demonstrating her technique within the exhibition small holes in the silence. Sunday 4 February, 1.30pm | MANAAKI NUI | FREE

Nan Mulder will give a talk on the history of mezzotint and explain hertechnique. She will demonstrate the different phases of making the image on copper, print a mezzotint and explain ways of adding colour to the final print. Come along and learn from Nan Mulder's expert demonstration.
