Bianco and Beyond

There's still time to experience the amazing screenprint installations by Pyramid's new artistic associate Allison Bianco at Arlington Art Center. The Interwoven show explores "the creative dialog around the ever-blurring boundaries between craft, design and fine art." Allison uses screenprinting seamlessly, so the viewer is immersed in the dreamlike sequences of her work.

Want more magic? Allison will be teaching an intermediate screenprinting class and print exchange. Learn how to make an edition of multiple color prints using pin and tab registration, color blends and transparent ink layers. Culminating with a print exchange, participants will receive one print from each of their classmates.
