This workshop introduces a variety of printmaking techniques through intaglio and relief methods of printing. Students will explore hand-drawn lines, textures and layered colors through using shaped plates and stencils in their prints. The class uses water-based ink and all basic supplies are provided. Students are welcome to start from scratch or to bring sketches as a starting point for this fast-paced workshop. Instruction is hands-on from 9:00am-12:00pm and a studio monitor is available from 1:00-4:00pm for students to continue their work on their own that day after the workshop too.
