Printmaking in the newspaper

9/5/2011

Last weekend's Soft Block Printing workshop made the news! Sean Scully from the Weekly Calistogan came by just as Franci Claudon was about to ink her block and pull a new print. Here's the photograph he published.

Franci is a glass artist, also part of Napa Valley Open Studios, and is now experimenting with ways she might incorporate block printing into glass art. Doesn't that sound cool? I'm looking forward to seeing how she develops it. You can see Franci's glass work on her Facebook page at facebook.com/MagpieStudioDesign, where you can also see her first block print–and–glass experiment.

Printing on glass sounds very creative and artistic.

I thought so, too! She said it didn't work as well as we'd hoped, in practice, but it was fun playing with it. She's working with incorporating photographic images into the glass now. I still think it could have some very interesting potential, depending on what you'd want to do with it....
