January 21, 2010—American Letterpress
American Letterpress: The Art of Hatch Show Print illustrates the
fascinating fusion of art with popular culture and music history.
Featuring the work of one of the nation’s oldest operating
printing shops – Nashville, Tennessee’s Hatch Show.
Students will discover a piece of modern American History as they
view Hatch Poster Illustrations. Older students (4th-12th) will
explore the art of printmaking and participate in a hands- on
workshop conducted by local printmaking artist, Carol Meis Ellington. Younger students (K-3rd) will learn about printmaking
and other mediums of art as they expand their exploration to other
parts of the museum and encounter a variety of art forms through
observing and creating their own art!
Carol Meis Ellington is a member of the Cooperative Artist Gallery
located in downtown Omaha. To view her Bio and samples of her
