The Details

AIGA San Antonio is honored to host Jim Sherraden, artist, printer and curator of Hatch Show Print in downtown Nashville. Workshop attendees will have the rare opportunity to handprint their own artwork from Hatch Show Print woodblocks. Jim and his trusty sidekick Brad are coming from Nashville with about 100 lbs of potato chips out of his Frito-Lay factory and you guys get to print them under Jim’s supervision, instruction and wildly popular dry sense of humor. “We’re after excellence here, not perfection.” And no one is allowed to think about what he/she is going to print more than a few minutes! No perfect registration or agonizing about color. This is therapy for the masses! Paper and ink will be provided but BRING A T-SHIRT OR TWO to print on!

Members: $45 (you must show your AIGA member card at the event)
Non-members: $60

Open to the public! Capacity is 20 so don’t miss out!
