The General Membership Meeting is on Thursday, January 14th at the New Hanover County Arboretum on Oleander Drive.  We begin at 6.30pm with a social and refreshments.  The meeting starts at 7pm.  This month we welcome Susan Baehmann, printmaker, as our speaker.  Her talk is entitled "Original Prints versus Giclees".  Susan will explain prints made on an etching press: intaglio, etching and monotypes.  She will speak about her background, how she came to printmaking and her process.  She will have examples of her beautiful work which is collected nationwide.

 

I look forward to seeing you on the 14th!
