The work currently on display in the cases outside of the @worthryder shows the complete portfolios developed and exchanged by printmakers in Art 120: Intaglio. Artists in each group collaborated on concepts, writing and process before editioning and trading these works, which is a modern-traditional printmaking practice. They’re up through graduation- come see them in person! Themed portfolio spotlight:
“Migration/Movement”
Evelyn Soller; Blu McCormick, Yulieth Aguilar; Karis Hwang
“Throughout history, migration has been defined by distinctive mass movements of ethnic groups, nationalities, animals, and so on. Although distinct, these paths remind us of the connective nature of migration, particularly as these journeys are continuously marred by clear political obstruction. What is the significance of outlawing movement? Where can one go and what is preventing us from doing so?
Migration/Movement attempts to draw connecting lines between the movement of humans, birds, and all creatures who travel from one place to another. As climate change disrupts the path of migration and borders halt the travel of humans, questions arise about the impacts of controlling and altering movement. Artists in this portfolio are encouraged to contemplate on personal ties to the concept of migration and tie them to broader themes of pattern and the occupation of space.”
Sneak peek of some of the work that will be available at the print sale- 🌀 these screen prints on fabrino were made collaboratively by students over the course of the year 🌀 they feature elements from at least 10 artists and at least 10 layers each (probably way more!) they were unplanned and built layer by layer with chance and play guiding the process 🌀 funds from the sale of these prints will go directly back to the studio, supporting more student work!
The annual ✨print sale✨ is THIS Friday and Saturday! Do NOT miss it! Tons of amazing artwork to buy (at prices that can’t be beat) 〰️ Support student artists and take this rare opportunity to visit our beautiful studio. 〰️ Screenprinted poster by the one and only #tamarbeja

Aaand we are back from Spring Break!
Photos from our first 🖤𝙿𝚁𝙸𝙽𝚃 𝚡 𝙲𝙻𝙰𝚈🖤Screenprint Transfer Workshop we had just before break.
✴️We screenprinted @speedball_ceramics underglazes onto newsprint and transferred them onto clay cups thrown by mechanician Ehren Tool. We also experimented with drawing with underglaze pastels and pencils onto newsprint and transferring them onto clay.🏺
✴️Thanks for everyone who joined us, and for those that missed out, we will do it again next semester! Thanks to @blue__prints , Tamar , @ehrentool and @_cathyclu_ for organizing this lovely event. @ucberkeley_print #ucbclay
