The workshop ‘Everything you Wanted to Know about Printmaking (but were Afraid to Ask)’ will be taking place at the Whatcom Museum next month.
This will offer a background for people who are curious about the various types of prints and how they can create them themselves. Instructors Dillon Gisch and Miranda K. Metcalf, both from the Davidson Galleries in Seattle, will be teaching attendees the difference between such processes as relief, intaglio, serigraphic, and planographic. Guests may get the opportunity to practice some of these printing processes for themselves during the workshop.
The Whatcom Museum has a large number of prints in its collection, many of which were donated by members of the public. An upcoming exhibition related to prints is ‘The Art of Genre: Posters from Hollywood's Golden Age’, which will be running from July to October.
This Bellingham-based workshop may inspire some of those attending to consider a career in the printing services, or it may just give them a good understanding of printmaking and a greater appreciation of the prints they see every day.
The session will take place at the Whatcom Museum at City Hall on June 1 from 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm. Admission is a suggested donation of $3, or free for museum members. For more information about this workshop, contact Rifka MacDonald at 360-778-8939.
