INTRO TO PRINTMAKING

This workshop is for novice and experienced printmakers who wish to hone their techniques. The four-week structure will introduce a new type of printmaking each week: monotype, linoleum block printing, drypoint etching, and collagraph. Class sessions will begin with the history of each medium, followed by demonstration and instruction. Thereafter, each participant will have the opportunity to work in the new technique and print their artwork. Nancy will work one-on-one with each participant to accomplish personal goals.

*Instruction will end at 1pm, but participants will have Open Studio time until 4pm to continue the day’s project and finish printing their work.
