Printmakers Inc.

Otterly Naked, John Gosling
Relief Print

This show features original works from the artist members of Printmakers Inc., which is an educational 501c3 nonprofit workshop and gallery in the Torpedo Factory Arts Center, founded in 1974. They are a collaborative group of eleven professional printmakers who share facilities, materials, and creative ideas to create an exciting body of work based on their immersive interactions with the public and local surroundings.

Everything is printed by hand. All works are based on original ideas by the artists and are original “hand-pulled” graphic prints created by employing a number of techniques including monotypes, relief printing, etching, lithography, serigraph, or mixed media. None are produced through photo-offset reproductions or other professional copying processes.

This show features eight of the eleven artists in the studio: Vero Barker-Barzel, Marcus Beauregard, Clair Meyer, Pam Day, Jennifer Dunbar, John Gosling, Ed McCluney and Patrick Sargent. To find out more about them and the other three artists in the studio (Judy Cody, Avis Fleming and Priscilla Young), visit their website at www.printmakersinc.org. To see more of their work, stop by Studio 14 in the Torpedo Factory Art Center, 105 N. Union St., Alexandria, VA 22314, open daily 10:30 AM through 6:00 PM.
