Co-founders of Star Wheel Printers
http://www.starwheelprinters.com/ Star Wheel Printers, formed by Nicole Patrice Dul and Elaine M. Erne, is a collective that aims to support, promote. and share printmaking with artists and the communities in the Philadelphia region. We acknowledge the area's strong community of printmakers and present a means to share our passion for relief, intaglio, planographic, and serigraphic printing. The collective seeks to engage dedicated emerging and professional artists by forging connections through collaborative projects, exhibitions, discussions, and a continued exchange of ideas. We seek to foster and encourage an appreciation of printmaking by further educating each other and the community about this art form.
