Magnolia Edition Tapestry Project A multi-media presentation with Donald and Era Farnsworth Noted Bay Area artist Donald Farnsworth and wife and fellow artist, Era Hamaji Farnsworth, will give a short history and overview of Magnolia Editions, their studio in Oakland, California known for producing fine art prints, print projects, public works and handmade paper. In a fast-paced multimedia presentation Don will discuss the challenges and innovations that went into creating the tapestry series, The Communion of Saints, by John Nava, which hang in Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral in downtown Los Angeles, and will describe how that project has led to tapestry publications with a wide range of contemporary artists. He will also illustrate the role of digital technology in his own work and in his collaborations with Era Farnsworth, and will discuss his process of combining archival digital techniques with traditional printmaking media.
