In May 2020, British sculptor Jon Isherwood and I completed a series of three silkscreen editions to compliment the planned installation date of his Broadway Blooms.  Delayed by trans-oceanic supply-chain congestion, on  August 2, 2021, the Broadway Mall Association launched Broadway Blooms: Jon Isherwood on Broadway, a sculpture exhibition at eight locations on the green malls at the center of Broadway from 64th Street to 157th Street.

On View: February 13 - May 16, 2021

I was invited by the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, MA to create several cliché-verre plates to illustrate each step for two processes, one which uses lithographic ink and the other oil paint as the bases of the photographic glass negatives.  The plates were then printed by photographer Jonathan Kline on light-sensitive photo paper using archival processes.  The plates and prints can be seen in the didactic display case of this exhibition.

Here is a description of the exhibition below, from The Clark's website.

Over the years, many students have suggested that I create a book from my detailed and many-paged instructions for learning Part 1 of my Century Plate Lithography classes and tutorials.

Now you can purchase my instruction book, Non-toxic Century Plate Lithography Part 1 in printed or E-book formats from Blurb.com and from me directly.

Non-toxic Century Plate Lithography Part 1 introduces printmakers to a new, sustainable and environmentally friendly way to produce high-quality, professional, hand-pulled lithographs without using toxic and petroleum-based materials.

I spent a gorgeous three-day weekend teaching a group of very talented artists during my Experimental Printmaking class at Snow Farm in Williamsburg, MA June 7-9.  We covered relief, intaglio, monotype, collagraph and chine collet printmaking techniques and experimented with combining some or all of them to create colorful, textural multi-layered prints using non-toxic materials, recycled objects and water-soluble ink. 

What a great way to start the summer!  Stay posted for more photos of the wonderful work my students produced in the Galleries pages on this website.
