Printmaking is the focus of tomorrow's Third Saturdays at The Aldrich

Third Saturdays: Family Art Experiences: Jessica Hutchins

Saturday, September 20
FREE for members and children under 18; FREE with the price of admission
10 am to 12 noon, 1 pm to 3 pm

Create with exhibiting artist Jessica Jackson Hutchins during a unique workshop that explores the process of printmaking in exciting ways. Sculpt, carve, and print, inspired by her unique personal sculptures, video, monoprints, and collages on view in the Museum. Don’t miss the final days of her exhibition Unicorn and this special chance to learn and create alongside an acclaimed artist.

Hutchins makes use of the things around her—worn clothing, tattered chairs, nicked tables, stained sofas—inserting hand-molded ceramic objects to craft works that make poetry from the mundane and unite the corporeal with the abstract, the relatable with the enigmatic. She shows us that an artist is unmistakably human, and that creative expression is fed by human experience.

From 10 am to 12 noon, Third Saturdays caters to children aged two to five with play in the galleries, followed by storytime and art-making. From 1 to 3 pm, children aged six to ten are invited to engage in gallery games and the hands-on art project

Each session will include snacktime and although the workshops are geared to a specific age range, siblings and friends of all ages are welcome to participate. All children must be accompanied by a caregiver.
