Gallery 302 in Bridgton welcomes woodblock printer, Blue Butterfield, as guest artist through Aug. 14. An opening reception will be held for the artist on Friday, Aug. 7, from 5-7 p.m. A demonstration of carving and printing techniques by the artist will be given earlier in the afternoon from 4-5.

Butterfield resides in Portland but grew up in Bar Harbor graduating from Bowdoin College and Northeastern University. She is known for her woodblock calendar, “A Year in Maine,” which is in its ninth year of production. Her first illustration production, “A Christmas in Maine” by Robert Tristram Coffin, will be out this fall.

The artist says of her work, “The printing process of taking a carved block and transferring it to paper remains, even after 20 years of printmaking, delightful in its surprise. I’m never entirely sure how it’s going to turn out. Wood necessitates commitment. It requires your complete attention, no corner of the woodblock can remain unaddressed.”
