Royal Flush - collaborative print


To discover a taste of Corkstop Studio artists' first collaborative print since Roger and Pacha have joined the studio, visit "Hearts Obispo" at ARTS Space Obispo in the Creamery anytime between January 21st through February 14th, 2008. Or go to the February 6th Art After Dark event for which ARTS Obispo goes all-out. Amazing sweet treats, local wines and live music set a festive mood for bidding on larger items in the silent auction.
"Royal Flush" was created on acetate film with ink, both rolled and drawn and scratched. It was then scanned, edited and printed with an Epson 7880 onto Canon etching paper in a limited edition of 8 prints.

Holonic Art Show at CorkStop Studios

On Saturday September 27th, we get to see the first show from the Holonic Art Movement. The Holonic Art Movement was created with the vision of bringing artists together by creating collaborative work either in the form of a shared canvas that travels from artist to artist, or by giving a number of panels or canvas's to artists around the world with a single unifying concept in mind - then reeling them in, after many months and mounting and hanging them as one piece. The movement was founded by Pacha and you can go to the web site to find out more.

www.holonicarts.com


"The idea of bringing artists together was the first and only mission I had when I started the Holonic Art Movement in the beginning of 2006. But soon after, the goal of creating an art community I could interact with was joined by the much bigger and more important vision of making this world a better place by helping people in need, one painting at a time." Pacha - founder.

The proceeds of the first show will be donated to SONRISA Colombia, a private organization that helps homeless children in Colombia. I’ve visited Colombia twice (in 2000 and 2005) and somehow I feel deeply connected to that country. Sonrisa is run by only a few dedicated people. The donated money will help the children directly: clothing, shoes, food, school books and uniforms, school fees. Because it is such a small organization, the money isn’t “wasted” on bureaucracy. Money goes a long way in Colombia ($100 take care of one child for one year, including meals, uniforms and school fees), so it is a perfect selection for the first donation.


Check back with the CorkStop website for details as we get closer to the date!

New Intaglio Printing Press at CSS


CorkStop Studios now has a printing press. The 26" x 46" large bed, provides plenty of room for larger printing. CSS is not currently set up for acids, so we are exploring the wonderful world of solar exposure etching.

We are planning to post images of recent prints from CSS artists, Anne Stahl and Carol Paquet, as well as exploring the possibility of holding a solar exposure printmaking workshop at CorkStop Studios.

Please contact us if you have any questions.
