Participants will create one-of-a-kind impressions using water-based low-toxic techniques. Each student will produce a minimum of four prints using the etching press as well as hand-pull methods to print. We will explore other possibilities like chine colle. You don't need prior knowledge -- just come ready to be surprised at what you can accomplish and have fun.
