Guest Artist, John Reburn

Also new to the tour this year, as  guest, John Reburn!  I love honoring the labor and elegance of past traditions. My printmaking is a union of art, historical traditions and modern design. With the commonality of computers, we forget the origins of type and how images are created. Silkscreen and Letterpress are antique printing processes and have roots that go back five-hundred years or more. I have been a working artist for nearly 30 years. Specializing in printmaking and design, I have worked in Los Angeles for entertainment companies including Disney and NBC; non-profit organizations such as Bet Tzedek, the Larry King Foundation and the Tiger Woods Foundation; and I've designed posters for broadway theatrical productions, musicians, and live concert venues. But, mostly I enjoy how these primitive methods of printmaking are as challenging as they are relevant and rewarding. My Roanoke studio is my favorite studio that I have ever assembled...I am excited to share it with you.
