Gallery Demonstration: Tools and Techniques for Making Woodcuts
October 10 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
How did artists like Dürer make their woodcuts? In these 45-minute sessions, Master Printer Chris Shore of the Center for Contemporary Printmaking will explore the techniques and tools used by 15th- and 16th century European artists. The two demonstrations will be conducted in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries at 4 p.m. and again at 6:30 p.m., where the exhibition Ink and Time: European Prints from the Wetmore Collection is on view September 12 through December 21 (click here to learn more about the exhibition).
Please note: We’ve scheduled these two sessions around Halima Taha’s 5 p.m. lecture in the Quick Center for the Arts’ Kelley Theatre! If you’re interested in her talk, click here to register for that event.
