Let your inner child bloom as you explore the playful and experimental world of pressure printing. In this hands-on class, you’ll create floral-inspired artwork using cut paper and collage materials to form a custom backing sheet. When placed behind a blank sheet and run through an inked press, the pressure transfers subtle variations in texture, revealing a beautiful range of tones, patterns, and colorful impressions with each unique print.
Don't worry if you're a beginner; no previous experience is required for this fun and creative activity. Just bring your imagination and a willingness to explore. Throughout the workshop, you will be working with a range of materials - and printing on a Vandercook press - as you bring your unique vision to life. Get ready to feel inspired as you engage in this hands-on experience.
This workshop is designed to spark your creativity and leave you feeling refreshed, inspired, and energized. Connect with others who enjoy making, and leave with a collection of personalized prints that reflect your unique style and newly honed skills.
