Brianna Thompson's 9-11 afternoon seminar took the bus to downtown Charlottesville for an exciting visit to
"Telegraph" a burgeoning pop art boutique located in the heart of the historic district. Brianna's class, which focuses on zines and underground culture, has been hard at work throughout the session crafting their own handmade journals. "Telegraph" was the perfect destination, as they feature and sell some of Ms. Thompson's work, as well as promote other local artists.
Shop co-owner Kate was so sweet to let us take over her space, and led a demonstration on how to use risograph technology. The risograph is technically a printer, but it utilizes special ink drums, and instead of direct copies, burns a print onto fabric within the machine. This allows for customizing colors, as well as allowing for mass-production of layered-color prints.
Parents, don't be surprised if your high school campers beg to stop back by on your way out of town!
