Join us on Thursday, March 26 in the Gordon Art Gallery lobby at 12:30 p.m. to help create a print run of collective relief posters! Posters will be created in honor of the artwork and legacy of Samuel Kahn and Norfolk’s ecosystem. Each attendee will be able to stamp a small carving block designed with either a local building, flora, or fauna creating a patchwork ecological map of Norfolk with other attendees.

We will be using plant-based ink pigments, recycled paper, and tools. All tools and supplies provided and no prior printmaking experience required. Attendees 12+ may participate in carving and everyone is welcome to stamp on the posters.

Free to participate. Pay-What-You-Can to keep carved blocks and completed posters.

We had a blast at yesterday's Riso Zine Workshop! Zines are a great way to explore pretty much any theme or idea. From zines about the history of zines, to comics about self-conscious spiders, to travel, super heroes, or even fish/crabs/illuminati rats—be the zine you wish to see in the world 🌎📙

You can join us at our next class, Riso 101 on Sunday 3/8 at 2pm! Find more info or sign up on our website!
