Printmaking with Seniors (Everyone Welcome, Senior or Not!)

This Fall, artist-in-residence Katy DeMent will facilitate programs with Swissvale's older population at the Senior Center located in the lower library. Each creative hands-on experience is designed especially for folks who might have low vision and/or memory and physical considerations due to aging. Inspired by nostalgia and lush materials, projects will engage seniors with a variety of printmaking techniques as they craft personalized holiday cards, gifts, and ornaments for any holiday or season worth celebrating. 

This project is supported by Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media with funding from the PA Council on the Arts and Carnegie Free Library of Swissvale.
