Want to proprose a class to Highpoint?
Highpoint Center for Printmaking invites printmaking instructors to submit adult class proposals to take place in Highpoint’s new, expanded facility at 912 W. Lake Street in Minneapolis. Classes will take place at Highpoint and should be based on traditional printmaking methods including lithography (stone, plate or photo), intaglio (etching, solarplate, or collagraph), relief, monoprint, or screenprint. Instructors must be available to teach classes during the Fall 2009 session. More info available here.
