Enjoy experimenting with textures, colors, and design by exercising your drawing and painting skills to make mono-prints with different techniques. We will create layers by adding and subtracting ink, tracing, image transfer, stencils, collagraph, linocut, and open work time. Learn various registration methods to align your layers perfectly, and strategize your printing process to get the most out of every session. Follow the provided example or develop your ideas with the technique explored that day to make meaningful art. Open work time for your projects to emerge will allow for one-on-one assistance in a group setting. Stay creative with your fellow printmakers, and have fun in a community-minded, socially-conscious environment.

Students provide:

Sketchbook for ideas
Favorite mark-making supplies
