Welcome, Jan Thomas!

Jan is kicking off our new Working Artist Program at Tiger Lily Press.

 She has been invited to work at the studio for three months

producing a body of prints, one of which will be chosen to remain

 with the studio’s archives. Jan started by meeting with

 Susan and Theresa last week,

 forecasting out her stay, and has since met with Susan to get a tour

 of the studio and its equipment.  Jan plans to work primarily in the

 collagraph process, rumored to be dealing with things such

as doll clothes and little black dresses??

  We will see how things progress as she ventures through

 her focused residency in our small but mighty print shop.

During her stay she will also bring in and work with

various artists groups from the community.

 So far she has arranged for a collective of Montessori teachers

 to come in May and the Art for Artists group will join Jan

 for three days in June to work on collagraphs.

We have given Jan administrative license for our

 Tiger Lily Facebook page

 so that she can post and journal her days as she works

 over the next three months.

  So tune in to watch the process unfold!

 We also plan to photograph and

videotape some of the work in progress to record and share her stay.

  In addition, we will announce a few select days

 that will be open for visitors to come in,

 mingle, converse and see what Jan is up to.

Jan is a wonderful, inspiring artist and

 we look forward to getting to know her!
