A night carving memories in Fairland

The Lillian Gray School of Fine Art recently host its first printmaking night.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art described printmaking as an artistic process based on the principle of transferring images from a matrix onto another surface, most often paper or fabric.

Traditional printmaking techniques include woodcut, etching, engraving, and lithography. So, when Fairland-based Lillian Gray School of Fine Art hosted a printmaking night recently, locals hurried to their studio so they could get a sense of the process themselves.

Guests first carved designs out of lino printmaking paper then, using paint, transferred the image onto either a tote bag or pencil case.

Here are some of the attendees showing off their final creations.
