Drawing Portraiture

Discover Printmaking

with Natasha Martel

For adults of all levels

Extra, Extra… get out your newspapers it’s time to re-discover printmaking! Think of this class as a combination of woodshop (carving tools) and shop class (greasy inks). Newspaper is actually a handy tool we will use to wipe up the excess ink. It’s vintage and contemporary all wrapped into one. With the use of a press bed we will produce multiple addition prints, colour block prints, and blind emboss. The outcome will be a deeper understanding and appreciation for how hand printing materials are created.
