July, July!

Oxbow summer camp session #2 is underway, and the Oxbow semester program faculty are deep into their summers. We'll be posting soon on what they've been up to, but for now we're backtracking to tell you quickly about the adult program that happened here on campus in June. 

Last month Oxbow welcomed a new visiting artist, Cecilia Giampaoli, a printmaker living and working in Italy who joined the 10-day Adult Summer Studios program. Cecilia teaches both traditional and experimental printmaking techniques at ISIA Urbino, and was a resident artist at Kala in Berkeley before heading up to Oxbow. Here she shared her work and her practice with an eager group of printmakers and painters who worked alongside her. 


Cecilia began her Oxbow residency by giving an artist talk, focusing on her choice in subject matter, her technical process, and her own narrative journey as an artist. The Adult Summer Studios were all around a great success--big thanks to Cecilia for joining the Oxbow team!

Next week we'll stick with the Italian theme, and hear from OS16 alum Laura Brentrup, who moved to Milan after working with us as a TA last semester. 

Ciao!
