Experimental Printmaking: Playful Processes

This class will give intermediate to advanced students the chance to learn new techniques, break the rules of printmaking, and experiment to create unique pieces. Exploration and pushing the boundaries of printmaking is the goal here, all while building technique and confidence. This class would have a demonstration of a given technique at the beginning of each class, with the opportunity for students to work on this technique, or a past technique shown in classes prior/they have experience in. Students will be encouraged to use unique materials and find materials that would otherwise become trash (scrap paper, onion bag netting, etc).

This class is for adults and mature teenagers of all skill levels and includes 6 hours a week of open studio time. All materials are included.
