Overview
This is a low tech method of printmaking.
You will be taught how to print without a press, using styrofoam as the print blocks, pushing materials to their limits, and experimenting on a variety of papers canvas and fabric, as well as combining styrofoam with other exciting additions resulting in unique textured works.
The focus is on printing in a way that is loose, free and spontaneous, but can still be editioned.
This is a wonderful, inexpensive method of making relief prints.
