The Honolulu Printmakers shared the art of Water Color Screen Printing on a beautiful day at the Hawai`i's Plantation Village located at 94-694 Waipahu Street, Waipahu, Hawai`i 96797.
Keiki, Kupuna, and visitors enjoyed the day of viewing historical plantation buildings, tasting delicious foods from different cultures, seeing dancing and singing on the performance stage, learning their genealogy, and learning and making original works of art using water based media such as markers, water based crayons, colored pencils, which they then pulled through a screen onto their paper with a squeegee using transparent base. A new art form was taught to many happy new printmakers.
The Honolulu Printmakers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supporting print culture in Honolulu and the State of Hawai`i for over 97 years! (Since 1928).
