Printmakers Inc, studio 325, is hosting an artist talk with our current solo show artist Samantha Lee Shelton. Sam will discuss her recent body of work. You are invited to learn more about the etching process, invented in the middle ages, and how Sam uses acid to bite into the metal plates, which are then used to make beautiful tonal and textural prints. Refreshments will be served.
Join us at the Waterfront entrance with artist Joey Wade (Studio 307) as he talks about patterns and nature in design and how he uses theses inspirations in wood carvings. Joey will provide demos of pattern designs with crayons, using a wax resist technique with watercolors and water-soluble markers. Take part in creating watercolor paper postcards to send to friends.
