503 Corral de Tierra Road, Salinas. This is a fundraiser to help purchase a platemaker for photoetching and offset the production costs for Melange 2 Recipe Book. It’s also an opportunity to celebrate the new year with your fellow printmakers at a lovely location (thank-you Carol Russell). If you choose to participate in the Print Exchange, please bring your print(s) in plastic sleeves with your $10 donation per print. As always, you'll receive the same number of prints from fellow artists on a lottery basis. The Club will be raffling off artwork, wine and other fun items. Each raffle ticket costs $5. You need not be present to win. Raffle tickets can be purchased form Susie Berteaux, Carrie or Nora. Tickets can also be purchased at the event. Please bring appetizers and drinks to share.
