10AM - 1PM • Opening Celebration
Featuring visiting artists Helen Popinchalk and Andrew Bablo, Test Print Tuesday builds on a series of screenprinting workshops Popinchalk has hosted in the Boston area to introduce participants to the process, and pull a print, again and again. This building of layers creates exciting compositions, and is a play on the test print process used by printmakers to check the integrity of an image on a test sheet that accumulates layered images over time.
Join us for a fun evening of experimentations in screenprinting, and take home your work of art! Generously hosted in collaboration with UW Professor Lars Roeder and post-undergraduate assistant Paola Terrazas.
Workshop will be held at the UW Visual Arts Building, 2129 E. Willett Drive.
5:30PM - 8PM • Workshop
