Amy Lyste and Becky Sefkovic-Uglem
One, Two, Three and More – Making Prints
Amy Lyste and Becky Sefkovic-Uglem are the directors of the Third Street Gallery on Kittson. Both received their Fine Arts degrees at the University of North Dakota. Amy worked as a graphic artist, while Becky continued on to earn her Masters degree. They continue to promote and create art. Printing is a process where Amy, Becky and students will use inks and paint to create prints. No experience is necessary as we explore many kinds of prints, block printing, potato stamping, silk screening and many more ways to make more–than-one-of-a-kind artwork.
