Workshop
Monday, February 28 to Wednesday, March 2
Hatton Gallery, G101
During his three-day visit, Ricketts taught a hands-on workshop, gave a public lecture, and visited classrooms for conversations with undergraduate and graduate students. The workshop, based on block print was held in the Clara Hatton Gallery. The hands-on workshop was a unique opportunity to see an artist making work on-site and in the space of a gallery – a space usually for displaying finished artwork.
The event is sponsored by Lilla B. Morgan, the Scott Artist Series, and the Department of Art and Art History at Colorado State University.
