A Small Museum that Makes a Huge Splash, Leepa Rattner Museum, Tarpon Springs
There were print makers of all kinds from every where! There was printing on clay, wood carving, linoleum carving and drawing on stryafoam printing plates. There was mono printing on a grand scale as you have never seen before and famous printers brought in from other areas and states. Just being around that reminded me of my days of printmaking long ago at the university and later with kids and adults. Now the creating printing juices are flowing. I have got to Print!!! I have got to Etch!!! I have got to carve!!!
This week in clay class I am going to explore printing on clay....now for all the fun we saw and people we met!
The inks used were a regular oil pasted printers ink. They will stay on through washing and remain permanent. The press was a small press and rather unique, the handles for turning were make of welded together chain links. There is always magic when an image jumps from one surface to another.
I will continue with post of the separate events following this one. And a post about a wonderful printer by the name of Sean Starwars, yes, that is right SEAN STARWARS. A wonderful artist and a great person. Look forward to more post on Printpalooza today!
