Our wonderful printmaking instructor Nikki Barber is on another artist’s pilgrimage to Northern Thailand. She’s spending one month as a studio-based artist in residence at Rajamangala University in Chiang Mai. There, she is able to interact directly with students, faculty, and Thai artists, experiencing the technical differences between Seattle and Chiang Mai printmaking techniques.
She sent us a “postcard” via email, with some pics and notes about the first few days of her trip.
