Art/Work Printmaking Workshop

**This event is now sold out. 

Join us for a printmaking workshop inspired by the exhibition Art/Work: Women Printmakers of the WPA. Learn the life cycle of how to make a print and create your own etching and relief prints to take home. This program will be taught by artist and art historian Tru Ludwig and is designed for ages 15+.

The Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project (WPA/FAP) (1935-1942) considered printmaking a medium for the people and organized public printmaking demonstrations across the country, including at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Capacity in the Joseph Education Center Studio is limited and reservations are required.

Please only register for this popular event if you are certain you will attend. If your plans change, please kindly update your reservation to make room for other guests.
