GUERILLA STREET ART: PRINTMAKING

Join us for a hands-on, outdoor printmaking workshop where the park, streets, and built environment become your studio. Participants can explore the park and surrounding areas to collect textures — from manhole covers, grates, and other surfaces. Simple printmaking techniques will be used to transfer these textures onto t-shirts and other materials, with instructor Kim Varnadoe's direction. This all-ages program encourages creativity, observation, and a playful connection to the world around us. No experience needed—just curiosity and a love for exploring textures.

This Art in the Park session will be led by KIMBERLY VARNADOE, who received her BFA in Painting from the University of South Alabama and her MFA in Printmaking from the University of Memphis. Varnadoe is a retired Professor of Art at Salem College, where she mentored artists for over 25 years. She has been a member of Artworks Gallery since 2003 and serves on the boards of Associated Artists of Winston-Salem and the Downtown Arts District Association (DADA). She is a Founding Artist of the online fine art gallery, Artfolios, where her work can be found online. Varnadoe maintains a studio with the Culture WS collective in downtown Winston-Salem.
