Of the 52 artists opening their studios to visitors and art collectors this December, ten artists will be participating in the Tour for the first time.

Vidabeth Bensen Screen Printing Workshops and 2019 Calendar
|
|

Vidabeth Bensen will conduct a T-Shirt printing workshop for residents of Galloway Ridge on October 9 and 16. And in early November Vidabeth will attend the NC Art Education Association annual convention in Asheville NC. In addition to displaying her prints, Vidabeth will demonstrate Screen Printing to the art teachers in attendance.
Vidabeth was a high school art teacher in New York and at an American High School in Japan. Her workshops for art teachers emphasize the simplistic methods she has devised during her years of teaching Screen Printing to all ages. From elementary students to senior citizens, Screen Printing is an enjoyable medium that can be used to make multiples of original art work. Her workshops at the University of Connecticut every summer enable teachers of all grades and subjects to use Screen Printing as an enrichment tool for all aspects of the curriculum.
