On June 18th, we enjoyed attending the exhibition reception at the Irvine Fine Arts Center for Rock, Paper, Scissors: Printmaking & Book Arts Exhibition. We are ashamed to admit that we had not yet been to this facility and we were quite impressed! We were amazed at the quality of handmade books, lithography, letterpress, photo processes and more. It’s always fun to see what others are doing and we left feeling thoroughly inspired to create some unique images ourselves. We wish to congratulate our friend, Rachelle Chuang, winner of the Juror’s award for her handmade book art! Also, friend Gina Pirtle did an excellent job designing and letterpress printing the posters for the event.
If you haven’t been, there’s still time to see this amazing exhibit. It continues until July 31rst, so drop on by and check it out! You won’t be disappointed.
