Workshop: Screenprinting with Calixto Robles
2024-10-04 00:00 - 02:00 UTC | Main Library - Latino/Hispanic Meeting Room A
Calixto Robles is a painter, printmaker and sculptor from Oaxaca, Mexico. Inspired by the myths, symbols, colors and ancient traditions of Meso-America, he mixes the silkscreen techniques, which enhance texture and brilliant color, with drawn and found images. Robles’ paintings explore magical realms while his ceramics allow him to reconnect with earthly materials. This drop-in hands-on workshop provides guests an opportunity to learn screenprinting techniques and try their hand at pulling a print to take home. After the workshop, visit Jewett Gallery to see From Disco Days to the Tech Craze: 50 Years of ArtSpan SF Open Studios (https://sfpl.org/exhibits/2024/09/12/disco-days-tech-craze-50-years-artspan-sf-open-studios), an exhibition highlighting the importance of the arts and artists in San Francisco through original artworks and ephemera.
