Impressions in Ink: Exploring the Art of Printmaking

Join Meg Pohlod, print artist and Manager/Instructor of Record at Black Rock Press at the University of Nevada, Reno, for an engaging discussion on her work, research, and the art of printmaking. Pohlod’s visual research offers a unique perspective on theories of memory, disability, trauma and family – exploring what is remembered and how it is manifested. Her work draws on personal and contemporary discourses, offering insight into the intersection of these themes. 

Pohlod’s distinctions include awards from the California Society of Printmakers, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, and the Redfield Fellowship at Black Rock Press. She has exhibited her work and served as a visiting artist both nationally and internationally.

Following the talk, attendees will have the opportunity to print their own ephemera using a traditional Kelsey platen press, featuring printer’s cuts from the Barbara Ann Kelly historic wood type collection. Additional materials from Black Rock Press publications and projects will also be on display.
