Drop In Printmaking
This event will be held one Wednesday of each month, from 6-8:30pm
Ages 18+
Have experience printing, but nowhere to work? Drop in to the print studio one Wednesday of each month for open print studio hours to work in an independent setting. Share the space with other printmakers as you all work on your own projects.
An instructor will be there to moderate the session and will be available to help if you run into questions, or if you’d like feedback.
Materials: We provide brayers and ink, but participants bring their own paper.
Please note which month you’re coming, at checkout, and let us know what you plan to work on. Since this time will be shared and everyone will be working on different projects we want to set the space up efficiently.
Additionally, Sarah Loving who will be moderating the sessions, will demo an optional technique demonstration each month. Details to follow!
