After six weeks of hard work, we are ready to showoff what we have accomplished! 

Join us for our culminating event and exhibition at Saltgrass Printmakers. We will be celebrating the completion of ‘Ordinary Things – Screen Printing workshop’ for the 2025 Utah Division of Arts & Museums’ Creative Aging Program. 

We took our inspiration from Corita Kent. Kent taught art and printmaking at Immaculate Heart College in Hollywood, CA during the tumultuous 1960s. Kent had a simple methodology; Begin, look, connect & create, work & play, celebrate! We combined some of Kent’s drawing and observation exercises from her book ‘Learning By Heart’ to the medium of screen printing. We learned screen-printing techniques including multiple color registrations.

Hands-On events: 

Screen print demonstration starting at 2:00pm. Come pull your own ‘Warhol’ print to take home with you. We will also have a letterpress poster set up with one of Corita Kent’s ‘Rules’ for you to print on the Showcard press.  

Saltgrass Printmakers is grateful to have been awarded this grant for the fourth year to teach with the Creative Aging Program funded through the Utah Division of Arts and Museums.

Thank you to Salt Lake City Arts and Salt Lake County’s Zoo Arts & Parks for continued support!
