Discover the graphic art of pronto-plate lithography! This method uses a printing press and etching ink to make a direct impression from your drawings, tracings, cartooning, doodles, or from observational drawing. Start your art-making with sharpie markers, brush and ink, acrylic, or a wax pencil to draw or create textures onto the pronto plate which is then printed using etching ink and a printing press. Make a visual statement with your print, inspired by the outdoors around the print shop and by the community atmosphere of the class.

This class is for adults and mature teenagers of all skill levels and includes 2 hours a week of open studio time. All materials are included.
