Prints Alive! Rediscovering the Wonder in ART
Everyone can make art. In this workshop we will recall the wonder of making art, for
art’s sake. Printmaking provides a variety of techniques to create images and designs
that explore paint, oil pastels, ink and even crayons.
Prints Alive is a two hour workshop where you will create your own printing block, make
a transfer print and complete a monoprint all with found objects. We will also learn a
little art history while remembering what it’s like to make art without any judgment or
previous art making skills. Learn more about our workshops and Professional
Development offerings by contacting [email protected]. Become a subscriber at Art
