Spudnik Press was delighted to host Wild Yams: Black Mothers Artist Residency for a Subsidized Workshop!

The workshop focused on screenprinting on paper to add another skill to the toolbox of their artist community. They believe that learning printmaking will offer a way for artists to create multiples and share their ideas or work widely.

Our friends from WILD YAMS shared these incredible photos from the workshop and we are delighted to see what they were able to create!

About the Program:

Subsidized Workshops at Spudnik Press aim to provide organizations with the opportunity to explore the art of printmaking in a supportive and creative environment. Each workshop will be taught by a resident Teaching Artist at Spudnik Press and participating organizations may choose from an array of printmaking topics or techniques.
