This online journal will keep you up to date on what is happening in our studio, our gallery, our classrooms, and our lives as poets, painters, actors, musicians, dancers, and artists of all kinds.   In this issue, we celebrate the arrival of our new etching press; introduce our current Artists-in-Residence; and let you know about the latest show in the Dadian Gallery. We also invite you to contribute to the conversation by joining us on Facebook; adding your thoughts on our blog, A Studio Incarnate; and letting us know how we can better help you find the Spirit through the Arts.   I look forward to hearing from you.   Blessings, Deborah Sokolove, Director Meet the Press We are very excited about the arrival of our new intaglio press. The press, made by Takach Press Company in Albuquerque, New Mexico, arrived at the first of the year.  This expands the possibilities for the studio and future Artists-In-Residence, as we were unable invite print makers in the past. The press is large enough to accommodate 18" x 24" prints and can be used for a wide variety of techniques including: etching, collograph, monoprints and embossing to name a few. Trudi Ludwig will be assisting us in acquiring the necessary accessory items needed for us to offer printing classes. To celebrate, we had an official blessing of the press on February 21st. The Wesley Community was invited to attend and make a print of their own. It was a whole lot of fun! To see photos from this event click here. We hope to be able to offer a short introductory workshop in the near future. Spring 2012 Artists-In-Residence LCAR would like to welcome our Spring 2012 Artists-In-Residence: Catherine Kapikian, Trudi Ludwig, and Emma Steinkraus.
