The Graphic Arts Workshop has been a hotbed of fine art
printmaking in San Francisco since 1954, and is
opening its doors during the first weekend in November as part of San Francisco ’s Open
Studios.
In contrast to today’s world of technology, many of the techniques
used at GAW 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.
A wide variety of prints of many types and price-points will
be on display and available for purchase.
In addition to seeing the art and hanging out with the
artists, this is a great opportunity to get an inside look at a working fine
art printmaking studio, and find out how etchings and other prints are created.
Participating artists: Lise Currie, Eddie Lee, Cynthia
Milionis, Gail Morrison, Andrey Semyonov and Barbara Stikker.
Open Studio hours: Friday, November 1, 2013: reception 6 to 9 p.m.
Saturday & Sunday, November 2 & 3, 2013, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
