PO Box 358 Jackson, CA 95642 209.296.4880 Printmaker Susan Hayne will be demonstrating at the September 13 meeting of the Amador County Artists Association. Hayne will demonstrate printing a wood cut and a linocut, showing the tools used in these processes. She will also talk about the wide variety of papers used in printmaking with examples of these. Susan has lived in El Dorado County for 38 years and finds most of her inspiration right outside her door! Susan likes the diversity of printmaking, from woodcuts to etchings, to silkscreen and embossing. She is equally fascinated by the wide range of handmade printmaking pa- pers available and how the uniqueness of the paper becomes part of the finished piece. Susan is inspired by nature and the beauty of California. ―The bulk of my work expresses the relationship be- tween positive and negative space, black and white, texture and pattern,‖ Susan explains. Guests are welcome at the demo. Printmaking to be Featured at the Monthly Demonstration
