Linocut Printmaking Workshop #5 Join us for our fifth hands-on Linocut Printmaking Workshop at the Tacoma Armory, Suite 15! Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, this workshop is perfect for anyone interested in learning the art of relief linocut. Tacoma printmaker, Yoshi Nakagawa, will guide you through the process of carving your design into 4 x6 linoleum blocks and creating unique prints. If you have time to prepare before the workshop, please bring a 4”x 6” rough sketch of an image you’d like to work with. We will transfer the one-color image on the block, carve, and handprint proofs and at least two washi (mulberry paper) prints with oil-based ink. We can add color with water-based pigments. This is a technique you can do at home once you have the materials and even print on textiles and fabric. Don't miss this opportunity to unleash your creativity and make beautiful prints to take home! Information Source: Yoshi Nakagawa | eventbrite

The Legendary British psychedelic space rock collective GONG KAVUS TORABI vocals, guitar FABIO GOLFETTI guitar IAN EAST sax, flute DAVE STURT bass CHEB NETTLES drums After completing a successful East Coast Tour last Fall GONG is coming back to the USA this June for a 4 weeks West Coast tour, the first West Coast tour in 25 years.The ever-metamorphosing entity that is GONG launches, as ever, into unknown – and unknowing – territory with new tours destined to be talked about, discussed, and argued over, up and down the land. From its beginnings in a French commune in 1967, through the Virgin Records years, mismanagement, court cases, break-ups and re-joining’s, deaths and rebirths – there has always been a continuous thread of beautiful, dangerous and extraordinary music. The current holders of the flame have come together over the last eight years; sinuous bass player Dave Sturt joined just as the album 2032 was shown to the world; Ian East (Sax, Flute) was the next to blow in through the portal; Fabio Golfetti brought his guitars from Brazil (after working with Daevid Allen for many years); Kavus Torabi (lead vox and guitars) appeared to Daevid in a vision; Cheb Nettles (drums) just sort of turned up. In 2015, Daevid Allen passed away. His influence and legacy were honoured on the band’s subsequent album, Rejoice! I’m Dead! (2016). In recent years GONG has performed with the Steve Hillage Band (himself a former member of the 1970s GONG line-up) and released the critically acclaimed album The Universe Also Collapses (2019) and a stunning new live album Pulsing Signals (2022) captures the band at a creative peak with tracks drawn from their 2019 tour. Their new studio album, Unending Ascending , was release in November 2023. GONG ’s musically diverse world includes shades of psychedelia, space rock, jazz, avant-garde, krautrock and surreal soundscapes.
