Artist Talk and Print Viewing With
Rosemary Feit Covey and Barry Moser
Tuesday, April 9, 3:00 – 5:00 pm
Georgetown University Library

Members of the Washington Print Club and their guests are welcome to join us on Tuesday, April 9, 3:00 – 5:00 pm at Georgetown University Library for a program featuring experimental printmaker and wood engraver Rosemary Feit Covey in conversation with master wood engraver Barry Moser, her artistic mentor, who will join virtually from his home in Massachusetts.
Moser, who founded Pennyroyal Press in Easthampton, Massachusetts in 1970, has published numerous fine press editions of classic literature, and Georgetown’s Special Collections has 22 of his titles. His current book project is an edition of Herman Melville’s Billy Bud that has yet to be published. There will be a pop-up display of the work of both artists at the event, along with that of Leonard Baskin (1922-2000), a prolific graphic artist and founder of Gehenna Press, who inspired Moser’s work.
The artists’ discussion will last approximately 30-40 minutes followed by Q&A. Then guests will be able to view the assembled works and light refreshments will be served.
Registration is limited to 35 people. WPC members may register themself and a guest.
