About this Workshop:
In this workshop students will apply electronic cutting technology to create detailed, quick stencils for collagraph printmaking. Using stickers, cut outs from cardstock and other quick little details, we will make a super fast collagraph plate and experiment with printing it in different ways. Make something intricate with less work!
Level: Beginner—no experience necessary!
Registration deadline extended to February 23, 2024 and all materials are provided.

Registration includes all materials—just come ready to have fun! In addition, you may want to bring the following optional items for class:
- Personal apron (we’ll have extras) or wear clothes that can get inky
- Notepad and pen for taking notes
- Any scrap paper, doilies, and other found objects to create texture. The papers and the textures should be mostly flat and not have too much height. For example, foil flattened works but an aluminum tray does not.
