Join us at Zygote Press for a guided open studio session which will explore how the core aspects of printmaking fittingly embody some of the emotions and visual language that Morrison uses in her novels. This PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN AND OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY guided studio is for artists from any discipline, as well as anyone who wants to explore the world of book arts, poetry and printmaking. Join us for a day of connection and creativity. Participants can make a hand-made journal using our Chandler and Price platen press and print a quote by Toni Morrison. Customize your very own zine that will help guide you through our current exhibition and print a Morrison themed letterpress poster to take home. Explore printmaking methods, make new friends, and take home a hand-bound journal for your own writings. Appropriate for art adventurers of all levels. This workshop is part of the Beloved: Ohio Celebrates Toni Morrison yearlong tribute.
