This special series of Atelier follows a group of American women who studied and practiced art in Paris at the height of the Belle Époque, then reunited in Provincetown, Massachusetts, as artists in one of the era’s most important printmaking collectives. The series features conversations with participants from the October 2026 symposium, Drawn Together: Trailblazing American Women Artists in Belle Époque Paris.
For our third episode, we speak with two practitioners of the white-line printing technique pioneered by the Provincetown Printers: Fred Dylla, a physicist, artist and founder of the White Line Woodcut Guild, and Bill Evaul, an artist, writer, educator and founder of Evaul Studios in Provincetown. They tell us how this technique reunited them, what makes it so special, and how they honor the legacy of the Provincetown Printers in their own work while pushing the craft into new territory.
