About the class

This day-long workshop explores experimental methods for creating layered and multi-colored prints using a range of tools, materials and processes. We will explore ways to combine relief stamping, monotype printing, stenciling, collage, drawing, transfer techniques, and more. We will have a pin-up critique of all work.

Note: There will be a 30 minute lunch break; please bring a bag lunch.

Please share any special considerations (medical, physical, learning) that will help your instructor make your class accessible and accommodating for you. You can share these considerations when register or by emailing Sean at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org.

When you register for a class, you’ll be offered three price tiers. The middle tier comes closest to what our registration fees used to be, and covers about 50% of the full cost of your participation in the class – with the other 50% covered by community donations. The first tier creates accessibility for people with limited income, while the third tier covers the full cost of participation – so that we can use community donations to support other people’s registration costs. When you choose to register at the third tier, you directly help support the Center’s efforts to remove financial barriers for others.
