|
|
Join us at the general meeting for a special artist demonstration by Richard S. Pace, who describes his work as “Artisan Draftsmanship.” Through recovered letterpress tools, forgotten trade practices, and the relationship between geometry and composition, Richard has developed what he calls “The Post-Synthetic Concept.”
The demo will include building a composition while sharing practical techniques for artists — some rooted in traditional methods and others developed through his own creative process. |
