Wednesday, Oct. 29, 7 pm, Room 284 at the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD).

Printmaking Demonstration

Zhiyuan Cong is a Professor and Head of the Printmaking Program at William Patterson University in Wayne, New Jersey.

His work is steeped in both traditional Chinese and contemporary Western traditions, which he melds together in his prints and paintings.
