newark print shop


i just finished a 6 month residency at the newark print shop. each wednesday i worked at their print club
“The Newark Print Shop’s PRINT CLUB is a weekly open studio for artists of all levels to come and make art together. Inspired by a flier at the Newark Public Library for a past print club,NPS Print Club was created to revive the interest in the fine art of printmaking in the city of Newark.”
every saturday i worked in the shop helping members and visitors print. over the past six months i learned a lot and developed a new project- because the years went so fast and the days so slowly- and finished two zines- since youve been gone i can do wahatever i want and i’ve got a gut feeling.
