Printing Revere: Rebels to Robots

April 25, 2020 from 11:30 to 3:00 PM, Andy Volpe will have a walk-up active/working printmaking demonstration supporting the “Rebels to Robots” event and the  “Paul Revere: Beyond Midnight” Exhibit, now on view at Worcester Art Museum.

Andy has recently completed a full-size replica of Revere’s Boston Massacre print, and will have this and other replica examples of Revere’s works on display.  Visitors will have a chance to ‘pull’ an intaglio copperplate print from Andy’s personal work, and be able to see how Revere’s printing process worked in 1770.  March 5th will mark the 250th anniversary of arguably the most famous, if infamous incident in American history.
