Members’ Advance Registration for the April 23 Online Program
We hope that you can join us for a very special online program on Friday, April 23, 11:00 am (Eastern Time). Printmakers and mixed media artists, Adjoa Burrowes and Gail Shaw-Clemons, moderated by artist Sheila Crider, will explore the beginnings and evolution of their printmaking practice from traditional etchings and lithographs to their recent three-dimensional format. Both artists will reveal the exact point when their prints became three-dimensional and why. Participants will get a glimpse of their printmaking process through video, highlighting the monotype technique. The discussion will range from the importance of experiencing traditional printmaking techniques, the hazards of printmaking, to how this new work fits into the contemporary printmaking landscape.
