Upcoming Meetings
Central Coast Printmakers meet every other month on the second Sunday, and invite guests and potential members to join us. For more information, please contact us!
We are starting a new series of retrospective studio/not studio visits: since some artists do not have studio space to show their art, therefore we invite CCP members to bring their art to show at group meetings. If you would like to offer a studio visit, please bring possible dates.
August (in-between workshop)
August 10 (RSVP before August 8). Joyce is offering a workshop on “Layered Monoprinting with Chine collé.” We’ll start early (at 10:00 am) due to the heat. Joyce kindly will supply plastic plates for use, papers (including some interesting ones!) and inks.
Bring: glue stick, 2- or 4-inch brayer, image(s) on paper for Chine collé – could be prints, drawings, images torn from books, etc. and $5 for Joyce to cover inks.
September (general meeting)
September 14. Barbara and Rosey have offered to host at 1:00 pm, 743 Santa Lucia Ave, Los Osos. Cheryl, Joyce, Susan and Maryanne will share prints and info from their recent Albuquerque workshop.
We’re still brainstorming for an upcoming collaborative project. Our recent discussion included suggestions for a specific-themed Tarot deck, an exquisite corpse flip book, a Book of Firsts and prayer flags—with the idea the flags could fly across the ceiling during the Studios on the Park show in May – June of 2026. (See the minutes from the May and July 2025 general meetings.) Think about it and bring your ideas to the September meeting (or email to Cheryl so she can compile a list).
