class starring Duffy and his band of merry printers. Duffy O'Connor's fall, 10-week etching class will resume in September.
Meet new CPC interns Carl Voss and Robert Rusch. Veteran interns Catherine and Kate seem to have devised a way to break in the new dudes from the comfort of their picnic blanket. Welcome Carl and Robert!
