Studio Tour
Three Centuries of Letterpress and Printmaking
Join us for a demonstration of more than three centuries' worth of diverse letterpress and printmaking equipment, ranging from 1850 to the present. From an antique relief press to pull prints just like the press used to publish our founding fathers' revolutionary broadsides, to a demonstration of intaglio and mono prints – explore a variety of printmaking and book arts techniques offered at the Athenaeum Art Center Print Studio.
Attendees will also be invited to take part in selected hands-on printmaking and book arts projects. No experience is necessary. Open to all ages though children will need to be supervised at all times. The open house is open to small groups from 12-8 p.m. (which includes hours during the Barrio Art Crawl in the neighborhood in the evening).
