Printmaking without a Press NEW!
If you love spontaneity and have an attitude of “let’s try it and see
what happens” then this course is for you. It can be as simple
as a found relief stamp or as complicated as a multi-colored
monotype print. Why make prints without the press? Most people
do not have access to a printing press, and the techniques we
are going to learn in this course will allow you to make prints
anywhere. From Christmas cards to fine art prints — we will
explore various projects. Instant gratification guaranteed. All
levels are welcome.
