PRINTING ON CERAMICS
This month we added a special workshop with visiting artist Anna Metcalfe, that will combine printing techniques with ceramics. This will take place Sunday, May 23rd from 10:00am - 4:00pm at the Donkey Mill Art Center. Tuition is $75 for members and $105 for non-members (this cost includes supplies).
This one day hands-on course covers the process of combining two mediums: clay and print making, both with a rich history of reproduction and the distribution of objects/images that exist in the "every day". Anna enjoys applying these combined mediums in an art practice that focuses on community, friendships, and social justice.
Anna will host a free slide lecture and potluck Saturday, May 22nd from 6:30pm - 8:30pm. If you are unable to attend the course this is a great opportunity to learn this popular new technique. Bring your favorite food or dring to share and mingle with fellow artist and aficionados.
