Regional Printmaking Exhibition – January 11 – February 24
Reception, January 20 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Jansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace

This regional exhibit encompasses all forms of printmaking, including traditional copper etching, intaglio images, wood block print, lino cut, lithography, serigraphy (silk screen), collagraph printmaking and more.

The history of printmaking began in the Han Dynasty China. The earliest known example, a woodblock print on silk, has been dated sometime during the Han Dynasty from 206 B.C. to 220 A.D. Modern printmaking can involve silk screens, aluminum plate, and even heat presses.

A wide variety of printmaking tools and equipment showing the processes will also be part of this dynamic exhibit. Be on the lookout for early spring classes and enjoy live demonstrations at the reception on January 20!
Come explore this diverse artform!

Lee Ann Frame-Traveling Marbles II

Lee Ann Frame

From the beginning when humans would put mud, blood or paints on their hands and make prints upon walls of caves to record their stories or to communicate an event, printmaking has been an important tradition. We’ve come a long way from those days to engraving metal plates, carving wood or linoleum blocks, creating lithographs and screens to make our prints. The one thing that ties them together is the ability to make multiples, to share an image more than once, to put art in the hands of many. This exhibit will combine multiple methods of printmaking, with the talents of regional contemporary printmakers to show how the tradition continues in contemporary times.

Alynn Guerra, Lee Ann Frame, Ladislav Hanka, Johanna Paas, Olivia Timmons, Cindi Ford, Annie Wassmann, Andrew Jagneicki and Chad Pastotnik will be featured in this printmaking exhibition.
