Nine artists of the Graphic Arts Workshop are participating in this year’s San Francisco Open Studios: Melanie Dorson, Eddie Lee, Elisabeth Nicula, Gail Morrison, Andrey Semyonov, Barbara Stikker, Toru Sugita, Geneviève L’Heureux, and Mariko Jesse. All will be on hand to explain their processes and inspirations.
In contrast to today’s world of technology, many of the techniques used at the Graphic Arts Workshop are centuries-old, although most have modern (and less toxic) refinements. They include etching, woodcut, linocut, letterpress, monotype and monoprint, lithograph, screenprint, and endless combinations and variations. Each artist works in his or her own style, but all produce original fine art prints, not reproductions.
A wide variety of prints of many types and price-points will be on display and available for purchase.
The event is free, and all are welcome to come explore the world of fine art printmaking.
The Graphic Arts Workshop is located at 2565 Third Street (on the Muni T line), #305, in San Francisco’s up-and-coming Dogpatch neighborhood. The Workshop will be open Saturday and Sunday, October 25 and 26, 2014, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. 415-285-5660.
