May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month – a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. A rather broad term, Asian/Pacific encompasses all of the Asian continent and the Pacific islands of Melanesia (New Guinea, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji and the Solomon Islands), Micronesia (Marianas, Guam, Wake Island, Palau, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru and the Federated States of Micronesia) and Polynesia (New Zealand, Hawaiian Islands, Rotuma, Midway Islands, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Cook Islands, French Polynesia and Easter Island). For more information on AAPI Heritage Month, visit https://asianpacificheritage.gov/about/.
We will be highlighting some of our AAPI artists during the month of May.

Come spend two days collaborating and printing with our experienced staff as we guide and assist you in acquiring these elementary skills in the ancient art of etching.

Unleash your inner Rembrandt, Channel Goya, bend it like Picasso. For the first time Black Rock Editions is offering a two-day etching workshop that will focus on traditional printmaking techniques. We will be covering basic line bite methods such as liquid and hard ball grounds, smoking the plate, transferring images and the biting and proofing of your plate.
