Inkblot Gallery at 933 Central Avenue in Alameda is a great place to meet with friends to discover art! There is always something new and exciting to see.

The folks at Inkblot inspire community and support for the arts. They present local artists with carefully curated works and creative displays, and make it easy to engage in conversation and learn about the artists and their work.

The Little Prints collection by Christina Appleberry opened Friday, December 13th 2019. Christina’s delightful 3×4″ block prints are fun and cheerful. They can be matted and framed, displayed in a grid, or hung on string.

Stop by Saturdays in December to view the prints, pick up  last minute holiday gifts, and talk to the wonderful Inkblot folks.

ABOUT CHRISTINA APPLEBERRY

Christina Appleberry is a librarian who enjoys making stuff in her free time. She has been printmaking since summer 2019.

“I was inspired to try block carving because I like crafts where my patience and steady hand can compensate for my artistic shortcomings. I enjoy book making, embroidery, and collage for the same reason. This past July, I attended Jen Hewett’s excellent Block Printing on Fabric workshop. Although I haven’t done any fabric printing yet, I continued to carve and make prints at home. I focus on simple designs, partly because that’s about all the skill I have, but also because I think they work well for multi-color prints which are very fun to make. I also really like mixing my own colors and I’ve just started to experiment with split fountain inking.”
