Sample event post for layout testing. Spend a Saturday afternoon watching a working printmaker pull relief and monotype prints from start to finish. Our visiting artist will walk through carving a block, inking, registration, and the hand-pressing process, and talk about how printmakers plan an image in reverse.
Visitors are welcome to come and go throughout the afternoon. There will be a small hands-on table where you can try inking and pressing a pre-carved block and take home your own print. All materials are provided, and no experience is needed.
The demonstration runs from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Space at the hands-on table is limited at any one time, so there may be a short wait during busy stretches. Families are welcome; children under 12 should be accompanied by an adult at the press.
Finished prints by the visiting artist will be on display in the front room, and a limited edition created during the demonstration will be signed and numbered at the end of the day.
