ADULTS INVITED TO PRINTMAKING WORKSHOP NOV. 30 AT K-STATE'S MARIANNA KISTLER BEACH MUSEUM OF ART

MANHATTAN -- The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art at Kansas State University wants you to act like a kid again.

The museum is having a printmaking workshop for adults from 7-8:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 30, at the museum. Participants will first learn the process of making linoleum block prints and then take part in printmaking projects that they may take home and use. Nice paper suitable for stationary or greeting cards will be provided.

The workshop is designed to be similar to the children’s printmaking workshop the museum offers, "The Creative Place: Children and Their Art," because several adults and parents of the children who participated commented about how much fun the children had and wished they could participate, too.

"In last year's workshop the most popular use for their prints were greeting cards and stationary," said Kathrine Schlageck, the museum's education and public services supervisor. "They typically want something that they can use after they leave here, especially since the holiday season is right around the corner."

The cost per person for the adult printmaking workshop is $5, and reservations are required. To reserve a spot call the Beach Museum of Art at 785-532-7718.

The museum, at 14th Street and Anderson Avenue, is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and from 1-5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Admission is free, and complimentary visitor parking is available adjacent to the facility.
