Prints In Practice

For the last program of the Picasso Summer Series, guests will be guided on a private tour of the exhibition, Picasso and the Progressive Proof, followed by a printmaking workshop with UL Printmaking Professor Brian Kelly in the Marais Press Studio.

Discover the bold, graphic world of linocut printmaking in this hands-on workshop inspired by Picasso’s techniques. Led by Brian Kelly, Professor of Printmaking and Coordinator of Marais Press, participants of all skill levels—members and non-members alike—will learn to sketch, carve, ink, and handprint an original linoleum block. All materials are provided; just bring your creativity!
