Exploring Prints with Children

November 6, 2018
1:30pm - 4:30pm

(3 PDPs) Explore printmaking processes and how to adapt it to your art-making space. In this workshop, you’ll walk away with a range of safe and accessible techniques that can be explored with students pre-K–12. We’ll deconstruct the printmaking process, allowing participants to explore the art form in an open-ended way. Enjoy the excitement as prints are revealed and layers of color come together to form a unique print. Techniques to be covered include monotype, collograph, stenciling, and stamping.
