Free Printmaking Demo this Saturday!

I will be back at the Foothills Art Center this Saturday, February 13th with Jennifer Ghormley for a free printmaking demonstration. Drop in between 11am - 2pm and see how I make woodcuts!  

"Have you ever wondered how Rembrandt created his famous etchings? Learn how a fine art print is created using a printing press. Instructors Jennifer Ghormley and Theresa Haberkorn will demonstrate various techniques including woodblock, monotype and intaglio printing. Participants will have the opportunity to experiment with the techniques."

Save the date also for my Introduction to Woodcut Workshop at the Foothills Art Center, February 27 11am - 3pm  http://www.foothillsartcenter.org/classes/adultprograms/classes.php

Stamped With Love Photos

On Saturday morning I raced back from Vail after visiting friends to teach a workshop on how to print your own Valentine's Day cards.  I usually don't teach kids, and was surprised that mostly kids came to print cards.  I luckily had just enough printing activities that would be safe for kids- no sharp carving tools! Here are a few pics of the workshop.

Happy New Year!

I am just getting back in to the studio and working on some new prints. It has been a long time for me after quite a dry spell of creativity.  It is hard to get back in the groove and find a new direction to work in.  I think the key is to keep going once you find it, and never slow down, or you lose it again.  

Save the date next month for a woodblock printing demonstration I will be doing
