OPEN HOUSE & PRINTMAKING DEMOS

Sunday, November 20th

As part of their fall show, “Celebrating Prints,” Nichols Galleries in Barboursville is hosting an “Open House” Sunday, November 20th from 2 to 5 PM. Throughout the afternoon, Frederick Nichols will be giving tours of his printmaking workshop and studio, while Tom Tartaglino demonstrates the etching process, a method that affords the artist a means to create a print that is a fine art form in itself. Many artists in history: Rembrandt, Escher, Dali, and others have used etching as a medium in the continuance of their art.

At 3PM McCrea Kudravetz will present a talk: "Focusing on the Details.” She will discuss her process of making collages on the computer from hundreds of individual photographs. This is an excellent opportunity to see how new techniques and technologies are being repurposed into rich and nuanced works of art.
