with Rosae Reeder
Saturdays: April 7, 24; 9am-12pm CT 

This virtual printmaking workshop focuses on using accessible materials to make prints and embellish existing art projects. Explore several techniques including packing tape transfer, Matte Medium transfer, watercolor monoprint, and Gelli plate printing. All of these processes can be done safely at home without caustic materials, chemicals, or printing presses. After learning printing techniques, participants will construct a simple single-page book structure to experiment with creating simple artist’s books from prints. No bookbinding or printmaking experience is needed.

All skill levels welcome!
