MUSKAT STUDIOS IN JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
In May 2018, Carolyn and her assistant Stacy Friedman traveled to Artists Proof Studio (APS) in Johannesburg, South Africa to teach two weeks of litho workshops. Founded in 1991 by Kim Berman and Nhlanhla Xaba, the studio is an amazing center for printmaking. We went into high gear, sharing the love of litho with over 80 students in a very short amount of time. But so worth it to share info and experiences with so many talented artists!! While in Johannesburg, we also were able to visit the studio of Joe Legate at LL Editions – another Tamarind printer sharing the litho love with artists!
After Johannesburg, we traveled to Mark Attwood’s print studio, The Artists’ Press, in White River, South Africa – it seemed almost unreal, it was so beautiful! Both the print studio and the locale – and Mark and Tamar were exceptionally generous hosts! We were in awe of what all they have accomplished so far, and super impressed with the ongoing projects the studio is producing.
It wouldn’t have been a complete trip without a few days spent on safari – truly mind-blowing!! Have I mentioned that I’m mostly a city-dweller? We loved it!
MUSKAT STUDIOS IN HANOI, VIETNAM
Since 2010, Master printer and artist Carolyn Muskat has traveled to Hanoi, Vietnam, to work with artists, teach printmaking, and establish a cross-cultural partnership. These trips have been sponsored by the Indochina Arts Partnership (IAP), and have help build a lithography studio at the Center for Excellence in Graphic Arts at the Contemporary Art Center in Hanoi. Working with many of the leading artists and educators in Vietnam, Ms. Muskat shared contemporary printmaking methods and taught both stone and plate lithography.

MUSKAT STUDIOS AND THE MUSEUM OF PRINTING
Each year, Carolyn and her husband Seth packed up everything but the press and traveled to the Museum of Printing in N. Andover for their Annual Printing Arts Fair. Carolyn spent the day printing new images in the ongoing tool series: this year, there was an image of Plumb Bobs as well as an image of a beautiful Plane -- thanks to assistant Emma O’Leary’s dad’s amazing collection of antique planes! The weather was warm and humid, but the printing and the crowds were great!

MUSKAT STUDIOS ANNUAL OUTING
Muskat Studios sponsored a day of fun for the terrific assistants who work at the studio keeping everything running along. The weather was perfect – warm and sunny! We spent the day at Kimball Farms enjoying a (very) competitive game of mini-golf, too much fried food at lunch, super killer bumper boats and an insane amount of ice cream! Thanks to all of my gang!!! Practice your game for next year!
