Last Sunday, We gathered to celebrate the end of the Printmaking Beyond Basics Workshop. We spent half of the class working on our final project and/or printing using either a baren or the printing press. We saw handsome prints that looked even more beautiful on printmaking paper.
We used 3 different kind of papers:
• Rives BFK (100% cotton, acid-free, soft-sized, and buffered)

We also spent some time sharing a set of delicious snacks offered by the Queens Museum New New Yorkers Program and catered by our wonderful café “The August Tree”. And some people brought delicious snacks too. While enjoying the food, our participants received certificates of completion.
The New New Yorkers Program, Guido and I thank you all for being part of these series of workshops, for being always open to learn and try new things. We look forward to seeing you all in future workshops. Also we would like to invite you to join our Family Programs workshops on weekends to enjoy art making workshops for children and adults.
I hope you have enjoyed this workshop as much as I did, preparing it for you all.
Thanks! !Gracias! Xièxiè 谢谢
Happy Printing!
Michelle.

El pasado domingo, nos reunimos para celebrar el final del Taller de Grabado Más Allá de lo Básico. En la primera mitad de la clase, trabajamos en nuestro proyecto final. Algunos participantes imprimieron manualmente usando el barén mientras otros utilizaron la prensa con ayuda de nuestra instructora. Las copias que se hicieron durante esta clase salieron muy nítidas. Esta vez usamos papeles especiales para grabado.
Usamos 3 clases de papeles diferentes:
• Rives BFK (100% cotton, acid-free, soft-sized, and buffered)

También pasamos un rato agradable compartiendo los deliciosos bocadillos ofrecidos por el Programa New New Yorkers del Museo de Queens y atendidos por nuestro maravilloso café “The August Tree”. Algunas personas trajeron otras delicias que se sumaron al menú. Mientras disfrutabamos de la comida, nuestros participantes recibieron certificados de finalización.
The New New Yorkers Program, Guido y yo les agradecemos a todos por ser parte de este taller, por estar siempre abiertos a aprender y probar cosas nuevas. Esperamos que sean parte de nuestros talleres en el futuro.
Espero que hayan disfrutado este taller tanto como yo lo hice al preparer cada clase para ustedes.
Thanks! !Gracias! Xièxiè 谢谢
¡Disfruten haciendo grabado!
