The Dolphin Building will be open 7 AM – 11 PM.

Additionally, we will have limited workstudys on hand during the week, and Kyle will be away on business. Please take extra care to be tidy, courteous, and thoughtful while working in the studios.

Friday, March 26
approx. 8 AM – 10 PM.

The department is sponsoring a bus trip to visit many of the Philagrafika locations during Southern Graphics in Philadelphia this month.

Only a handful of seats are remaining on the bus. The sign-up sheet is located in the front entry-way display case.

If you sign up for the bus but fail to take the trip, your student accounts will be charged $35. We are not doing this to be cruel, but rather to force you to consider your scheduling and availability, and remind you that these seats are in demand. There will be a wait-list for the trip.

If the sign-up-sheet is full, please e-mail printmaking@mica.edu, and you will be wait-listed in the order you are received.

This will be an all day trip, on Friday, March 26th, and faculty from the department will rendezvous with you at various locations in the city.

Please consider your schedule carefully before you sign up.
This is the first friday after Spring Break.

Yaay!

Julia Petrino and Kim Michalak have foolishly awesomely decided to head up this semester’s Print Exchange.

The sign-up sheet will be posted on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19th, in the front entry way.

There are only 21 spaces available. First come-first serve.

The rule is, of course – once you sign up, you must participate. No backing out, no willy-nilly excuses… You’re in.  So commit and have fun! These always turn out for the best.

The theme is Messages.
The deadline will be Early April.

Other details to come of course.

Classes have just been canceled for the remainder of today (Tuesday, February 9th) beginning at 3 PM, and will be closed through tomorrow. ‘

Details are here.

GO HOME, (I am soon!!!)

This is out of my control and if they choose to lock the building for the weekend then they will.

SO – -

There’s always the chance that they won’t lock (deadbolt) the building.

There’s the chance that you can just mosey down here and let yourself in.

There’s the chance that no one actually cares if you’re here for the weekend, as long as you’re responsible about it.

Right? *wink wink*.
(Cross your fingers.)
Have an nice weekend!

And then there’s this: http://snowpocalypsedc.com/

Tuesday, February 9th he, along with Eve Laramee, will be critiquing a selection of Printmaking Majors in Dolphin, beginning at 2 PM.

Students are encouraged to attend and join in the discussion in these critiques. And even if you do not have anything to contribute, you will be in the presence of two excellent critics. Rest assured these will be very exciting.

Critiques will run from 2PM until about 5PM, beginning in Silkscreen and finishing in the 3rd Floor Computer Room. Please attend, even if you can only attend part of the event.

THEN:

Jose Roca is lecturing on Wednesday at 12:30 PM in Brown 320.
This is a mandatory lecture for all Printmaking Majors and Concentrators.

This is an Art at Lunch event. Please contact the faculty for your Wednesday classes and tell them you will be late returning from lunch because of this lecture. He will be speaking on his role organizing Philagrafika, which kicked off last week.

This is the ideal start to the 3-month long Philagrafika festival, and a perfect primer for all of you to attend the Philly festivities!

You have no reason to miss this, we’ll see you there!

6 hours and a crew of assistants, compressed into 8 minutes!

According to their site, the final piece is 35 1/2 x 28 1/2 and in an edition of 30!
