Artist Lecture: Jim Sherraden // Since 1977, artist Jim Sherraden has resided in Tennessee, where he managed Nashville’s Hatch Show Print from 1984 until 2017. He oversaw its transition from a cultural survivor of days gone by century to its current status as a widely recognized graphic design house and destination for letterpress enthusiasts. In 2005, Sherraden returned to carving his own woodcuts, continuing the work that first led him to Hatch Show Print more than 30 years earlier. Six years later he began creating wooden quilts and then the paper quilts that are the subject of the current Morris Museum exhibition, on display through November 8, 2020. >> https://bit.ly/3lUWrcF
