Printmaking Talk and Workshop: Unpredictability, Presence, and Creative Action

Printmaking Talk and Workshop: Unpredictability, Presence, and Creative Action

We begin at 1:00 with an artist talk by local Erie artists: papermaker Ashley Pastore and printmaker Alex Anthes. They will show some of their work, share their artistic philosophy, and talk about “being present” through creative action in the form of printmaking as a counter to the unpredictability of life. They will then give a printmaking demonstration, explaining specific presses and processes. Finally, starting around 2:15, Ashley and Alex will lead a printmaking workshop for up to 20 participants (RSVP required). In the first part of the workshop, participants will create a print on the letterpress. In the second part, participants use the monotype process, which involves painting onto a sheet of plexiglass and then running the letterpress print. Each participant in the workshop will get to keep a copy of the print they make. All are welcome to attend the talk and to watch the demonstration, both of which are free and open to the public; however, the printmaking workshop costs $5 per person and is limited to 20 people. This event is presented as part of the Gannon University 2021-2022 Speaker Series organized by the College of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences (CHESS).
