OFFCENTER ARTS Print Shop

On September 10, 2025, I went to OFFCENTER ARTS in Albuquerque to participate in the free Printmaking Workshop, from 5:30 - 7:30 on Wednesdays:


That Wednesday (September 10th) the FUSION drawing session was cancelled, so I went to the Printmaking Workshop at OFFCENTER ARTS :


Previously on July 16, 2025, I had come by to verify the OFFCENTER Printmaking Workshop and left a stack of 6x6 linoleum squares.  However as we draw the figure at FUSION on Wednesdays, I did not stay.

I carved the EXQUISITE TESSELLATION tile that I drew on August 5th, using the new Edward C Lyons Linoleum Tool Set:

also very orderly



The RULES

There was a second room, for printmakers to carve in:
