Chipping the Block, Painting the Silk: The Color Prints of Norma Bassett Hall. On display at the Whatcom Museum through February 14, 2015.
Norma Bassett Hall was a Northwest print maker who worked in moku-hanga and was a pioneer in serigraph. The exhibit includes sixty of Norma’s prints, along with a sample carved wooden block, a hand made book, and proof series showing the cumulative effect of each block.
Highly recommended. Afterwards treat yourself to a meal at the Mount Bakery Cafe or the Old Town Cafe.
