Hannah Morris, Lenore Thomas Printmaking Demonstration

It was very interesting to see Lenore Thomas's demonstration and hear her talk, it was interesting to hear a different perspective. She talked a lot about experimental printmaking. In her work she uses the same plate she has been using since grad school. She likes how it looks worn, she stressed how expensive printmaking is, and the importance of saving money where you can. In her work she experiments by placing the plate at different locations on the papar and by combining different printmaking techniques. Even though she is using the same plate her work looks different because of the different compositions, techniques, and colors. She also talked about how contemporary art is very much mixed media and it is acceptable to combine all different types of things. In her work she will use whatever she has to to make the piece how it needs to be.
