Tia Brady (Hawaii, USA)
Tia Brady is a passionate printmaker dedicated to teaching and sharing her craft. She runs the Hui Noʻeau print studio in Makawao, Maui, and teaches printmaking at the University of Hawaii Maui College, as well as K-8 art where she primarily focuses on—you guessed it—printmaking! She really enjoys being able to teach printmaking to artists of all ages. Another way she shares printmaking with the community is with her mobile print shop Hex Press Maui, where she sets up an old-school mobile etching press and custom-prints linocuts on shirts to order, creating an engaging and interactive exposure to this special art form. Tia is the face of Print Day in May on Instagram and has no shortage of opportunities for content!
