Featured Studio
Jo Giddens | The VC Press
The VC Press embraces slow media such as letterpress, typewriters, woodcut and Mokulito wood lithograph printmaking techniques to create both limited-edition and unique artworks.
Visitors will see my printmaking process and have the opportunity to hear the stories and inspiration for creating the art works, handmade books and various other creations.
