Hooray for Printmaking!

I have recently joined a shared printmaking studio. It is called BYO - Studio and it is located in Fishtown amongst the young and thriving art scene on Frankfurt Avenue. To visit the BYO blog click here. Like the name entails, this is a shared space for people who would like print. Bring your own matrix, ink, paper and use the shop's press. I have become a member which gives me access to the shop and an online calendar to schedule private press time. The shop also accommodates guest printers for individual print projects.

In March I attended The Southern Graphic Council's annual conference in conjunction with Philagrafika. I attended printmaking demonstrations and lectures, participated in an Open Portfolio, and met printmakers from all over the country. It was amazing! and now I'm pumped and ready to get into the shop and make some prints!

I'll be spending the summer working on a series of small woodcuts. I plan to post my progress regularly, so stay tuned.
