Help kick-off our First Saturday Open House series this fall by exploring the role of printmaking in scientific illustration, cataloging, and research! Participants can leaf through hand-colored lithography prints from our archives, watch local artists practice Gyotaku, a traditional Japanese printmaking practice utilizing REAL fish, and even try their hand at screenprinting!
