Local artist Seth Caplan transforms Bushwick Library into print shop for kids.
The first Authors and Artists program of the new year featured guest artist Seth Caplan, who transformed the Bushwick Library in a print shop.After a brief discussion about monsters, the kids were invited to sketch a fanciful beast. For further inspiration, Norte Maar Director Jason Andrew read the classic book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Next Seth demonstrated a technique whereby the kids transferred their drawing onto Styrofoam for printing. "Lino cuts a la styrofoam and pencils," cried Seth. Let the printing begin!The end results were astonishing!See more photographs of our afternoon with Seth Caplan by visiting our Facebook page.
