Henry Morales Workshop in Albuquerque

CALL TO PRINTMAKERS

CONVOCATORIA ABIERTA A GRABADORES

Henry Morales ran a woodblock print workshop at Los Jardines, in the South Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico, on September 8th, 2018.  This was sponsored by the same people who organize the Muertos and Marigolds parade for Day of the Dead.

Henry has participated in all of our print exchanges and exhibitions.

This was a free event, and given the concentration of the participants, it looks like the artists really enjoyed it.  It is really great to bring the press out to the community, rather than having to bring people to work in a more formal atmosphere all the time, like at a university or high end print shop.

A good spirited bunch of artists attended

A big thanks to Angelica Bracho, for exhibiting our last print exchange, and delivering a lot of new print editions for the Ambos Lados print exchange.  It's this type of energy that we find exciting here, and all over Mexico.

Gonzalo Espinosa started the "Taller Sin Miedo" in 2012 at the Sculpture Resource Center in Tucson, to produce prints with Joshua Woodhall and Krrrl.

Ever since then this energy spawned more print projects, and converged with other Southwest print energy, into projects like the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta and the YayBig Southwest.
