PRINTMAKING in March 2026

There were a few big printmaking events that I did not go to in March 2026, but show off the strong print scene in New Mexico.  The HERSTORY PRINT COLLECTIVE had a print workshop at the Albuquerque Museum on March 28th, 2026.  Julianna Kirwin sent me photos of this event, and posted some of the prints on Instagram:

They cut EVA foam with scissors, and secure that onto a surface. Then they ink up the foam and print:

UPDATE: On April 16, 2026 they showed these prints at the Albuquerque Museum, during the Third Thursday night:

The UNM Printmaking Department went up to Highlands University in Las Vegas, New Mexico for the PRINT, PRINTED, PRINTING conference last month, on February 20-21, 2026.  We went to this conference in 2016:

Tim Jag is going to buy a Mini Screen Printer KIT.  We should do something like this only with a mini-metal mesh screen, so that we can burn the image into it with a laser cutter.
