Want to produce your own original artwork? Why not get your hands dirty trying some of the noble techniques of printmaking? Share an evening of discovery of this fine art in an informal, creative atmosphere.
On Saturday 24 October, Harvard Club members and guests will be welcomed to the Gentilly studio of artist Jonathan Shimony AB’87, for a practical printmaking workshop and buffet dinner.
A short lecture on the history of printmaking and the materials and techniques of various processes will be given by Jonathan. Participants will then be invited to choose from several possible relief and etching techniques and will be taught how to make their own printing plates. A wide choice of colors and papers will be available to enable the participants to print their works in several different ways.
No prior experience in drawing or printing is necessary.
The evening will end with a buffet dinner in the studio. Each participant is asked to bring a bottle of wine or two bottles of another beverage.
Participation is limited to 20 persons. The workshop is appropriate for adults and for children of 8 years and older.
