July 27 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$40.00Let’s Zoom+Make!
Wednesday, July 27, 7pm-9pm ET via Zoom
About this Workshop:
Get some relief from the heat and join us for a fun evening of learning how to make block (relief) prints. In this Zoom + Make you will learn how to carve and print using soft easy-carve relief blocks. You will be given suggestions on size and concept, but ultimately the imagery is left up to you. Best of all, you’ll have learned all the basic techniques to continue creating prints using your own designs after the class is over!
Level: Beginner – No experience necessary
Registration closes July 18, 2022 to allow time for students to gather/purchase their materials.
