Printmakers at the Tannery
November Show — Quilts and More

Full run of show November 1, 2024—November 28, 2024
First Friday November 1, 6:00pm—9:00pm

Come join us for First Friday, November 1 from 6 to 9 PM.
This month's exhibit —First Friday at Printmakers at the Tannery will feature woodblock prints by PATT member Frank Trueba and quilts by guest artist Pam Rocco.

Frank Trueba will be showing recent work replicating Gee’s Bend quilts by way of mokuhanga or Japanese woodblock printing. Mokuhanga is a centuries-old Japanese woodblock printing technique that uses water-based inks, carving tools, and Japanese paper. In addition to the 14 quilt prints Frank will also exhibit some other recent work.

Pam Rocco, a Santa Cruz quiltmaker, will be exhibiting a number of actual quilts. After graduating from U.C. Berkeley in 1968, she joined Teacher Corps and was assigned to Appalachia. She lived in Jackson, Kentucky, a center of traditional quilting. Years later, at a San Francisco museum show in 2006, she was inspired by the work of the many fine quilters of Gee’s Bend.

Both artists will be on-hand to answer questions.
