Dive deep into the wonderful world of printmaking, and try it for yourself under the guidance of an internationally recognized artist! Taught by Nigerian artist Tunde Odunlade, this full-day workshop will begin with a demonstration from Odunlade of the limited edition variable (LEV) linocut printmaking process. Then, enjoy lunch on your own before returning to the art center to make a unique work of art for yourself, cut and printed from linoleum.
Odunlade is a master printmaker and batik artist, as well as a musician, poet, actor, and experienced teacher. He also works in fiber, textile, and the graphic arts. His art uses both contemporary and traditional techniques, drawing on the rich history of Yoruba art and culture alongside modern-day life in Nigeria. Odunlade’s art work is included in the collections of institutions like the State House in Lagos, Nigeria, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, as well as our own National Museum of African Art. Don’t miss this truly one-of-kind chance to learn printmaking directly from a master!
This event will be hosted offsite at the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, located at 4318 Gallatin Street, Hyattsville, MD 20781.
