It can be as simple as a found relief stamp or as complicated as a multi-colored monotype print. Why make prints without the press? Most people do not have access to a printing press, and the techniques we are going to learn in this course will allow you to make prints anywhere. From Christmas cards to fine art prints — we will explore various projects. Instant gratification guaranteed. All levels are welcome.
