Printmaking

Print Day in May is Tomorrow!

Have you heard of Print Day in May

For over ten years  Robynn Smith and the MPC Printmakers have devoted the first Saturday in May to fine art printmaking. What began locally in the greater Monterey Bay Area of California in 2007, has become a worldwide event. In 2018, artists from all 50 US states, 46 different countries and all 7 continents participated! 

Participation is easy. Just make a print on May 4, 2019!

I'm excited to participate tomorrow and I hope that you will too!

Some ways to participate:

Get out that gelatin plate!
