Join us for a special edition of Whitney Signs Online featuring the EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop.

Printmaking has played a central role in Jasper Johns’s artistic practice. Jasper Johns: Mind/Mirror features a wide variety of prints including intaglios, monotypes, silkscreens, and lithographs. Learn more about the traditional process of stone lithography from EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop instructors, who will lead a step-by-step demo of the unique process live from their studios. EFA RBPMW continues to be the only community printshop in Manhattan with stone lithography.

The session will begin with a brief presentation of highlights from Jasper Johns: Mind/Mirror led by a Deaf educator. ASL interpretation will be provided.
