Working With A Master Printer
A panel discussion with Debra Barrera, Beth Secor and Pat Masterson, moderated by Cathie Kayser.
Presented by PrintMatters Houston at The Printing Museum 1324 W. Clay Street, Houston, TX 77019 Wednesday, April 27th 6:00-8:30PM www.printingmuseum.org
In 2013 the Print Enthusiasts, led by Patrick Palmer, asked artists Debra Barrera and Beth Secor to collaborate with master printer Pat Masterson to produce prints for fundraising. This was to support us in bringing IPCNY's winter show to Art League Houston for PrintHouston 2013. Six of each of these prints have been found in our inventory and we want to share them and the story of how they came to be. The fine art collaboration between artist and master printer is a unique and fascinating journey. Come join us as Cathie Kayser asks questions that will reveal the process from both points of view.
Donate $500 to support PrintHouston 2022 and receive one of the above prints!
