Botanical Printmaking 1M24
Age Group:
Adults
Explore a mixture of non-press printmaking strategies with botanical textures. Combine leaves, sea foam, dried fruits, pine cones, fern fronds…and even some fabulous fakes. We’ll be printing onto papers, card stocks, vellums, and some textiles for use as prints and in art projects like collage, assemblage, and the book arts. Printmaking techniques will include plexi-plate, collagraph, styrofoam block, gelatin plate and paste papers. Bring your own botanical items to add to Cristina’s vast collection, or just bring yourself for some creative exploration.
Just a quick note, paste paper is a little messy. We suggest wearing an old shirt!
Open to all media and skill levels.
