From her studio we drove over to the UW studios where Christine is a professor in printmaking. The studios accommodate photo plate lithography, relief, intaglio, and silkscreen. There was even an old, original Ed Hardy litho plate. It has been destroyed so that the image cannot be reprinted, but it was still really cool to see his drawing up there. While talking to Chris I learned of another great opportunity that she offers to her students. Every other summer students have the chance to travel to the Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence, Italy for an intensive month long studio program lead by Chris. It was inspiring to meet such a passionate and driven artist and I'm glad I was able to make the extra trip to Green Bay.
