Join artists Noah Cribb and Elle Barbeito for a transformative printmaking workshop that bridges craft, sustainability, and storytelling. In connection with Language and Image, the museum’s current exhibition exploring the intersections of text and visual form, this workshop highlights how image-making and material language serve as powerful tools for storytelling, identity, and environmental reflection.
Rooted in the unique ecological and cultural landscape of South Florida, this hands-on experience focuses on printmaking through the lens of survival, function, and environmental reflection. With assistance from the artists, create a collagraph snakeskin print collected by Elle from the Everglades. On view are a selection of furniture pieces handcrafted by the artist, each reflecting a deeper story about life in South Florida. Highlights include collapsible hunting seats and classic rocking chairs reminiscent of those found on front porches—objects that evoke both function and familiarity.
About Elle Barbeito
Elle Barbeito is a Miami-born artist and designer whose process-based practice reflects the raw beauty and harsh realities of the natural world. Deeply influenced by the Everglades, Barbeito explores survival techniques such as hunting, skinning, and preserving hides, incorporating these methods into her sculptural leatherwork and functional design. Her work weaves together themes of intention, sustainability, and identity—prompting viewers to consider how we live with and through our environments.
About Noah Cribb
Noah Cribb is a multidisciplinary artist living in Miami, where he attended New World School of The Arts gaining a Bachelor’s degree in art and technology with a minor in art history. Cribb’s practice emphasizes abstracted relations to the immediate environment, focusing on the relationship of horizon lines and signals within the present moment. Evolving his process, Cribb brings forth a truth solely discoverable through play—play manifesting through daily routine and nourishment of the self. Branching from spiritualism, specifically duality, breath, movement and energy, these concepts appear as common ideologies reinforced by his daily rituals. With the belief that rituals inform his disposition toward himself, society, and how he approaches spirituality, Cribb exists in a world that must be transformed and transmuted with pure intention. He has shown work at the Freedom Tower, Edge Zones, and Vizcaya Museum’s permanent collection, as well as placed first in the Gasperilla Fine Arts Festival in 2018.
