Creative Collaborations in Printmaking: A Two-Part Exploration with Melissa Joseph and Jazmine Catasús | EFA Open Studios 2024

Join us for an inspiring two-part event that delves into the dynamic process of collaborative printmaking. Artist Melissa Joseph and RBPMW Artistic Director/Master Printer Jazmine Catasús will discuss how artists work together, combining their skills and creativity to produce stunning prints. This interactive session will include a live demonstration in the print shop and discussion of print techniques.

The second part features an intimate studio visit where participants will have the opportunity to gain insights into Joseph’s work, inspirations, and the role of collaboration in her practice. This is a rare opportunity to see works in progress, understand the tools and materials used, and engage in dialogue with the artist and printmaker.

EFA OPEN STUDIOS welcomes the public to explore 74 artist studios, along with a host of arts programming and exhibitions, all located in the EFA building in Midtown Manhattan. This event offers a rare opportunity to witness the creative process up close and engage with a vibrant community of professional artists. Our internationally recognized members, each with established studio practices and career honors, will open their doors to showcase their most recent works. Additionally, the EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop and EFA Project Space will be open for special events and tours, providing firsthand experiences of the transformative power of art.
