Talk by the Atelier Four printmakers

On Saturday, October 4th at 1 p.m. three of the four featured Atelier Four printmakers came to speak about their process of printmaking. Below you can see photos of Bruce Muirhead, Bill Salzillo and Amy Georgia Buchholz talking about their process.




The talk turned into an intense interactive discussion as listeners looked at plates firsthand and walked around the room hearing the stories behind specific pieces. The three printmakers often work comfortably around each other in the collaborative printmaking environment, so it was interesting to hear them cooperating together to describe their work. Additionally, teaching experience runs high in the group so they were able to discuss how their students approach the medium and what they've learned from each other. At the end, the conversation turned to history to examine how specific artists have effected the medium and what the future impact of digital will be.
