Explore printmaking using ordinary objects with artist Amanda Chesney.
Local printmaker Amanda Chesney will guide participants in creating embossed prints using commonplace materials like paper clips, feathers, and thread—inspired by John Frederick Peto's Office Board for Christian Faser (1881). A selection of objects will be provided; participants are also welcome to bring thin, dry items to use in their prints.
