Hello, Print Friend / Platemark BYO Coffee Meet-Up

Join the hosts of the printmaking podcasts Hello, Print Friend and Platemark for an informal BYO coffee meet-up. Come meet podcast hosts Miranda Metcalf and Ann Shafer ahead of the Print Fair’s opening on Friday morning, March 28, at 10:00 am. Then, head into the Print Fair and check out the cornucopia of prints and multiples. It’s a chance to talk with fellow print nerds about the printmaking ecosystem, a corner of the art world that is full of the nicest people.

Culture, Climate, and Conflict with Rob Swainston and Zorawar Sidhu with Lane Sell

4pm in the Small Hall

Doors open at 3:30pm

Artists and collaborators Rob Swainston and Zorawar Sidhu make large, multi-block woodcuts that take a hard look at politics, public health, and environmental concerns. They will talk about their work, their process, and a new body of work of monumental color woodcuts, which will be on view concurrently at Petzel Gallery. The conversation will be moderated by Lance Sell of Shoestring Press.

Stone Lithograph Demonstration with Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop

2–3pm in the MGC Community Print Studio (5th Fl)

Stone lithography is a traditional printmaking process that relies on the immiscibility of grease and water. In this hands-on demonstration, participants will draw on a smooth limestone surface using greasy lithographic crayons. Robert Blackburn Printmaking Studio’s printer Fiacco will guide the group through the process of preparing and etching the stone, washing away the original drawing, and inking the surface while sponging to keep the non-image areas ink-free.

Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair tours with master printer Phil Sanders

12:30, 2:30, and 4:30

Enjoy a private tour of the Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair with master printer Phil Sanders who will introduce you to a selection of print fair exhibitors. Along the way he’ll talk to you about the printmaking ecosystem, why collecting is easy and fun, offer a bit of technical information, and take a deep dive into specific prints. If anyone can help you fall in love with your next acquisition, it’s Phil Sanders.

?Tours are free with entry, but each is limited to 20 participants and spots are first-come, first served. Meet in the Grand Hall near the main lounge.
