Museum of Art

The Bates College Museum of Art will host a printmaking workshop for ages 5 and up on Friday, March 30, 2017 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The workshop will take place in Muskie Archives at Bates. Space is limited and registration is required.  Call (207) 786-8212 for reservations. The fee for the workshop is $5 for adults/children. The event is free for Bates students.

Participants will learn about block printing through examples from the museum’s collection.  They will also learn how to handle printmaking tools, carve or cut their own design into a print block, and then make prints from that block. Participants will take home prints in the form of notecards, which they can use to share their creativity with friends and loved ones!
