Event Details

 

Join Peter Michael Martin, an internationally recognized artist and educator, for an introductory workshop and demo on creating multi-color prints using watercolors on a carved pine
woodblock. This technique, known as White-Line Print or Provincetown Print, originated in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1915. The workshop coincides with the Provincetown Prints: White-Line Woodcuts from the Collection of Edward Yasuna exhibition; showcasing both early innovators and contemporary artists working with this technique. After a brief talk and demonstration participants will be given the opportunity to print a 2” x 2” block pre-cut by Peter. This event is open to all ages, and participants will leave with their individual printed image.

About the Instructor

Peter Michael Martin is an internationally recognized artist and experienced educator. His exhibition "Martin & Moby" was hosted by the New Bedford Whaling Museum in Massachusetts in 2014 and traveled in 2015 to Tokyo, Japan. In the summer of 2019 the Cape Cod Museum of Art held an exhibition titled "Moby Dick: Inspired Visions" transforming the historic Hope-McClennen Gallery into a captivating and thought provoking space. Martin's monumental Tyvek silhouettes reflect themes realized in the text of Herman Melville's novel, Moby Dick. Three significant white-line woodblock prints were included in this exhibit. In June 2019 Martin collaborated in a Moby Dick iPhone photography project titled "Altered Visions" which examined the relationship between Ishamel and Queequeg and presented that at the 12th International Melville Conference in New York, NY. In June of 2022 Martin once again collaborated on another iPhone photography series "Call Me Ahab" and presented and exhibited at the 13* International Melville Conference in Paris, France.
Martin's "Mens' Chorus" 23' x "43 Kewa Pueblo inspired white-line print was one of two included in South Korea's 10th Ulsan International Woodcut Print Art Festival in 2022.
