About this Workshop:
In this home-based, beginner-friendly online workshop, we will explore and utilize traditional printmaking media in exciting and accessible ways to create a small variable edition of multiples that will be shared with everyone in the class. Some of the media we will explore are kitchen litho, monotype, relief, and transfer printing. Students will mail their small print editions to Pyramid at the end of the workshop. Prints will then be sorted into class portfolios, packaged, and mailed back to students so each will have one print from each of their fellow participants.
Level: Beginner – no previous experience necessary
