An Open Studio Event: Black Squirrel Pattern Postcard Printing

Stop by the Common Press anytime between 2 and 4 p.m. to print a postcard featuring a two-color decorative pattern inspired by the architecture of the Fisher Fine Arts Library and the black squirrels that inhabit the gardens outside. This unique design was created specifically for Penn by Common Press studio coordinator Erica Honson.
