Artist to hold workshop series at Fort Worth library

Laura R. Post will host several art workshops at multiple branches of the Fort Worth Public Library.

Those interested in learning how to work with paper crafts can participate in three different classes throughout the year on topics like bookmaking and relief printing with rubber Stamps. Post will also lead a workshop on how people can turn invasive plant species into pulp paintings. The classes will take place at the library's East Regional, Summerglen, Southwest Regional, and Vivian J. Lincoln branches.

Laura R. Post is an experienced artist who works with paper to create multi-faceted paper sculptures. She uses many processes in her pieces, including dry-point, etching, and woodblock. Post went to school at the Rhode Island School of Design and Swarthmore College. She is a faculty member of the University of Texas Arlington and used to give lectures in the Foundations area at Indiana University. Her work has been featured in exhibitions like Umbra: New Prints for a Dark Age.

The bookmaking workshop will be on July 27, and the relief printing class will take place on September 14. The course on papermaking with invasive plants will be on August 3 and October 26. Each session will last from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, and all classes are free to library patrons. Those who hold artistic lessons like these may use flyer printing to advertise their courses.
