About this Event
The experience begins with a private tour of Manhattan’s oldest surviving residence, the Morris-Jumel Mansion, built in 1765. During this tour, we will explore the legacy of French wallpaper-making, its techniques, craftsmanship, and introduction to American homes. The day continues with a gourmet brunch inspired by French and American cuisine (with vegan options) followed by the start of the linocut relief workshop.
There are two sessions: Day 1 is from 10 am - to 4 pm (January;18th) and noon to 5 pm (January; 19th)
Our teaching artist is Brian Hawkins, a visual artist and filmmaker. Brian holds an MFA with Honors in Printmaking from the University of Kansas, where he primarily focused on intaglio, monotype, and relief processes. In addition to printing, Brian now makes experimental animation films using cut paper.
Brian’s work concerns the patchwork of memories, historical narratives, and fiction that contribute to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. He teaches printmaking and drawing at the Department of Visual Art at the University of Kansas, the Department of Media, Art, and Design at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, the Illustration Academy, and the Lawrence Arts Center. His award-winning animations have been screened at festivals worldwide, including the prestigious Annecy International Animated Film Festival.
