Go Annie!

Today's Washington Post features a HUGE image from Annie Albagli's show at Pleasant Plains Workshop, as well as a nice plug for Pyramid Atlantic. In case you missed it, read our interview with Annie on the Screenprint Society blog. Congratulations, Annie!

Greetings from Paradise

Event: Opening reception of Annie Albagli's exhibition

Date: July 29th

Time: 6-9pm

Location: Pleasant Plains Workshop, 2608 Georgia Avenue

NW DC 20001

Annie Albagli, Pyramid Atlantic's teaching Artist-in-Residence, is having a solo exhibition at Pleasant Plains Workshop opening this Friday. Anyone who has been to Pyramid in the past few weeks has seen Annie's works in progress-big beautiful multi-layered unique silkscreen prints-in which Albagli has pulled imagery from nature and symbolism.

"With Greetings From Paradise, Albagli explores ideas of personal 'paradise' with a site-specific window installation and an array of large and small-scale screen prints. Viewers will also be invited to contribute to the series by participating in interviews on what 'paradise' is to them." ( Source: Pleasant Plains' blog)

If you miss the opening, Greeting from Paradise will also be displayed through August 27.

All About Annie

Wonder what's with those trees growing in the studio? Annie Albagli tells all on the Screenprint Society blog.

A Visit from Charles Cohan

Charlie Cohan has been working fast and furiously this past week on an art commission for the Raleigh-Durham airport. I say fast because he had nine [125 lb. glass] panels to print during his week here. I say furiously because I've never seen Charlie work any other way. Annie Albagli, one of our teaching artists-in-residence, has been assisting him.

It's fun having him back, as the last time he was here was in 2008, when he taught a workshop and had a exhibition upstairs. He will be with us for a few more days-so stop in, say hello, and see his very cool prints.
