About this program
Did you know you could make your own prints with potatoes and plants? In this introductory class, we’ll explore various printing techniques by choosing one of the following experiments: (1) hammer printing with organic materials, (2) drypoint (Intaglio) and (3) printing on familiar objects to create repeated patterns. Participants create unique posters and cards at the end of the workshop.
A 3-hour session is also available to explore all three printing techniques with the same class.
