Create and take home an edition of 6 multi-layered reduction relief prints! In this workshop, you’ll carve a design in stages into a soft, easy-to-cut block. After each carving step, you’ll apply ink and print onto paper, building layers of color and detail one at a time. With each stage, more of the block is carved away. By the end, you’ll have 6 identical layered prints!
Create and take home 6 pressure prints! In this workshop, you will arrange paper stencils, fabric, and other materials on a backing sheet to create a collage.

Create and take home an edition of 6 screen printed zines! In this workshop, you’ll learn how to create stencils for screen printing using paint markers and a photosensitive material called emulsion. Prints are created by pushing ink through the screen with a squeegee, and by reusing your stencil, you’ll produce a set of 6 identical prints. You’ll also explore the basics of zine making, assembling your prints into small, self-published booklets to share or keep.
Create and take home an edition of 6 bold, graphic screen prints! In this workshop, you’ll cut designs into contact paper and adhere it to a screen to create a stencil. Prints are created by pushing ink through the screen using a squeegee. By using the stencil again and again, you’ll end up with 6 identical prints!
Create and take home 6 pronto plate litho prints! In this workshop, you will draw on a polyester plate using waterproof drawing materials. You’ll use water to dampen your plate, add ink, and send it through the printing press to transfer your image. The result is a rich, detailed black and white print.
Create and take home your own tessellating design! In this workshop, you’ll design a repeating pattern that fits together seamlessly, then use a carving tool to transfer and carve it into a soft, easy-to-cut block. Prints are created by adding ink to the block and pressing it onto paper—similar to a stamp. Because your design tessellates, you can repeat it across the page to build intricate patterns. Reuse your block again and again to create interlocking compositions!
Create and take home an edition of 6 etched drypoint prints! In this workshop, you’ll scratch a design onto an acrylic plate with a sharp tool. The burrs that result from scratching trap and hold the ink applied to create soft lines when put through a printing press with a piece of damp paper. You can repeat the printing process to create 6 prints!
Create and take home 6 cyanotype prints! In this workshop, you’ll prepare your paper with cyanotype chemicals and then add dried florals, fabrics, and other found materials to create a silhouette design. You’ll place your design in sunlight (or our exposure unit) to expose the paper and develop the image in water. The result is beautiful, vibrant blue prints.
