Program Description
Event Details
Students will create their own bookplate and bookmark designs on paper during this hands-on workshop with VMFA textile and printmaking artist Mary Swezey. The designs will be transferred to a soft printmaking block (Safety Kut) and cut out using carving tools. The carved block will be inked and printed on paper and cardstock as each participant creates their own set of bookplates to use or bookmarks to give as gifts. Seats are limited and registration is required.
A lunch break will be included. You may pack a lunch or pick something up nearby.
This program has been organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and is funded, in part, by the Paul Mellon Endowment and the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund.
