We’ll host a hands-on printmaking session this coming Sunday, January 17th, 2016 from 2-4pm. It will either be at the Northbridge senior center or nearby, we’re still working that out. We were inspired by the Alternatives Printmaking opening reception last Friday and are preparing for the upcoming open-call printmaking show at the Attleboro Museum!
For even more inspiration, take a look through all the photos from November 2015’s demo with printmaster Randy LeSage –
