Visitors are invited to make their mark at The Magic House with artist Jeffrey B. Arnold as they learn how to use the tools of the trade to create two-dimensional prints at a Printmaking workshop on
Saturday, August 9 form 9:30 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday, August 10 from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Printmaking is a part of The Magic House's Visiting Artist Series. This drop-in workshop is free with Museum admission and no reservations are required.

Jeffrey B. Arnold is an artist and educator from Ferguson, Missouri, who has taught art for more than 20 years. Arnold also works from his Tortoise and Hare Studio, where he focuses on drawing, painting, murals, ceramics and illustration. He painted the gigantic birthday cake commemorating St. Louis' 250th birthday and The Magic House's 35th birthday displayed on the Museum's
front porch.

The Visiting Artist Series is a yearlong celebration of the arts at The Magic House, St. Louis Children's Museum. One weekend every month, Museum visitors have the opportunity to learn from a variety of professional artists as they demonstrate their techniques. Children are invited to work alongside artists and explore similar materials as they join in the fun of the creative process. The Visiting Artist Series is made possible with the support of the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis and Center Oil Company.
