The Bates College Museum of Art is hosting a family printmaking workshop from 3-5 p.m. on March 7.

Working together under the guidance of museum staff, parents and children will sample various approaches to relief printmaking and make artworks to take home. Participants can also view the museum’s current exhibitions, including the print-oriented “The Art of Occupy: The Occuprint Portfolio.”

The workshop costs $5 per person. It will begin in the museum, at 75 Russell St., in Lewiston, and move to the nearby Benjamin Mays Center, 95 Russell St. Ample parking is available.

“We want to show families that they can explore printmaking techniques with materials they have at home,” said Anthony Shostak, education curator at the museum. “They’ll not only have the satisfaction of learning to work in an art form, but will gain a greater appreciation for art that they’ll encounter throughout their lives.”

This program supports “The Art Of Occupy,” on display at the museum through March 26. The exhibit showcases more than 30 commissioned posters promoting the Occupy movement.

Workshop space is limited and registration is required. To make reservations, please contact Anne Odom at [email protected] or call (207) 786-8212.
