Location: Room 208

Have you ever wanted to memorialize an old photo of your family members, or experiment with images from magazines or your own drawings?  Spend the day in a unique exploration of monoprinting called Xerox photo transfer.  In the morning, we’ll use our toner-based photocopies as our plate, plus water-soluble ink and the pressure of the printing press to print one of a kind art pieces.  After a lunch break, we will try another technique of image transfer possibly using nail polish remover, matte medium, or packing tape.  Students can expect to take home 5-8 finished prints.  Please view the materials list to learn what to bring to class

This class is suitable for beginners as well as experienced printmakers.  Participants receive a free day pass to Printmaking Open Studio so they may continue using the printing press to create image transfers

Bring a bag lunch and water bottle.
