Maureen Da Silva - Artist/Educator


Maureen Da Silva (she/her) is a Tkaronto/Toronto-based printmaker and artist.  She primarily works in silk screen, lithography and relief, with forays into bookbinding. She has taken her love of print into the co-founding of the not-for-profit artist group, The inPrint Collective, of which she is the Studio Manager. Through this collective, Maureen has been proud to showcase work and/or develop community programs for  NuitBlanche (2012), Cultural Hotspots (2016 - 2022), CONTACT Festival (2022) and more.  A 2008 graduate of York University’s B.F.A program, Maureen has also completed her Masters of Arts at the University of Toronto (2009), as well as her Certificate in Museum Studies from the Ontario Museum Association (2013). Her research in her Women and Gender Studies Master’s program focused on the politics of inclusion within feminist art collectives, an interest which brought Maureen into the Feminist Art Collective (FAC). Maureen's work sometimes plays with pop culture, as well as experiments in patterns and collage within a print framework.  She also embraces learning curves in her practice, working within the possibilities of regeneration in the face of failure. Her own practice in feminism, community and printmaking, has inspired Maureen to a lifetime of creativity, non-stop learning and sharing.

Calling all writers, hobbyists, and artists alike! Interested in learning some basic bookbinding methods to put together your poetry or loose drawings? Would you like to make your own sketchbook or journal? This class serves as a gateway to bookbinding and introduces you to three basic methods in which you can make a simple but effective book. Focusing on soft covers, we'll cover pamphlet stitches, stab bindings, and side bindings with participants going home with at least 3 new books to fill. These skills are easily replicated at home, and will set you up to learn more complicated bindings (because you're gonna fall in love with bookbinding!)
​All materials provided. Suitable for older teens and adults.​
