Time again for block printed holiday cards. Lots of different images, several new designs to choose from, including “Sled Dog”, “Xmas Octopus”, and “BAH!”.
Each one is hand pulled, printed on rice paper or card stock and is unique. Sizes 3″ x 5″ to 5″ x 7″, priced $5 to $8 each.
Kara Hammond’s Block Print Cards are sold only through Sunday, December 22, so don’t procrastinate. Come by and check them out!
At Open Studio, 629 North Trade Street, Winston-Salem, NC, 27101.
Some colors I recently made have inspired a few new pieces.
Earlier this fall was poke-berry season, whose fruits ooze an astounding magenta when freshly squeezed, and mellow into a rich russet-burgundy as the ink oxidizes.
Also discovered some nice earth colors in the silty runoff of various parking lots. When combined with the copper oxide, walnut, rust, and acorn iron inks, some nice combinations occur.
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, and acknowledging the contributions of artists to this endeavor, the latest window at 629 North Trade Street highlights several photographs from the collection of artist and former NASA Art Director, James Dean, along with landscape paintings of space travel by Kara Hammond. Through August.
Art Connections is open weekends only, through the summer.
Kara Hammond’s Open Studio will return in September.
Each hand made from foraged or found materials.
$7 for 30ml

Sadly, after four years, I will be leaving the Torpedo Factory Art Center, and my fabulous studio on the Potomac. June 30 will the turnover, when artist Marilynn Spindler will be taking over my half of Studio 306. The illustrious James Dean will be keeping up his half, sharing with her a love of architectural painting. Please come by and visit, if you’re in Alexandria.
