Save the Date: 12/3 "Sampler" Evening

Laura's tools and set up for the sketchbooks

Laura Kinnenberg shows off a handmade paper screenprinted sketchbook, which will be one of the many offerings at Pyramid's "Sampler" evening on December 3rd, from 6-9 pm. The event will have a gift theme, with many handcrafted and printed goodies for sale, as well as live hands-on demonstrations. Each area of the studio—papermaking, letterpress, book bindery, printshop, and of course, screenprinting will offer attendees the chance to try every discipline and take home their creation, guaranteed to come in handy for the holidays.

Screenprint Specimens of Pyramid Atlantic

Laura Kinneberg

On a lovely summer evening in August, a group of Pyramid artists gathered around a table of wine, cheese and stacks of prints to participate in the time-honored tradition of the artist print exchange. Resident artist Sabeth Jackson—the mastermind behind the glorious Peace Mural panels gracing Pyramid's entrance—organized the trade. The portfolio included three screenprints. Laura Kinneberg's "Specimens of the Mid Atlantic": too-many-colors-to-count on handmade charcoal colored paper with letterpress lettering; Sabeth's "Over the River and Through the Woods": 2 colors with a hand colored wash; and Grant Dickie's much-anticipated "Beer Print", showing the many steps to that frosty brown bottle o' beer. Grant stepped up to organize the next exchange. And a big shoutout to the summer interns who brought it all together with a custom screenprinted portfolio.
