Mark Making for Editions or Printing without a Press - Online (2023wksp-23)

ONLINE - Mark Making for Editions or Printing without a Press with Andrew Huot

You don’t need heavy equipment or a big press to make prints for an edition or exchange.

Join Andrew as he demonstrates simple and repeatable techniques to create a matching edition of prints. Then we’ll get our hands dirty trying out trace monotypes, pochoir, stamping, and more.

No printing press, no problem!
