In this dynamic workshop, students will use the vehicle of letterpress printing to explore
personal connections to food and food traditions. We will learn the fundamentals of analog
design and the importance of book arts in a digital age, then print our own designs
incorporating pressroom materials - lead type, wood type and ornaments- with personal
experiences. This workshop will include some short readings, regular group discussions, and
creative lab time in a COVID-adapted letterpress print shop located in the Cully Neighborhood.
By the end of this series, students will have learned traditional methods of putting ink on paper
and created a collective edition of vibrant letterpress prints that reflect their food traditions.
Transportation stipends are available for in person print shop dates.

of Black Art
with Spencer Garland/BRENDA ARTS

Black art isn't made in a vacuum. References, aesthetics, and history echo through the works
of Black artists as diverse as Jean Michel Basquiat and Kara Walker. In Echolocations we’ll
explore these intersections to illuminate how you and your artistic voice mirror those of great
Black artists from around the world. We’ll learn about Black artists from The Harlem
Renaissance to contemporary Afrofuturism, have conversations about history, art, and
politics, then use this discourse to create our own original works of art.
Spencer Garland’s style has been described as Afrofutrominimalist. He aims to create
new Black narratives, pulling aesthetics from the cultural zeitgeist combining everything
from Michel Gondry-esque tactile props, to African American iconography and Japanese
street fashion. Spencer Garland is the founder of BRENDA ARTS, a film program geared for
BIPOC youth that involves film history, media literacy, and production.Portland
