Printmaking: Alternative Intaglio (Tuition-Free)
Adult Tuition-Free Class | Registration opens Monday, July 13, 2026 8:00 AM EDT
This class will introduce students to several traditional printmaking techniques. By using everyday materials found at hardware, craft, and grocery stores, we’ll explore how centuries-old processes can be brought into the modern day. We’ll begin by going over the fundamentals of operating a press, creating an image, and making adjustments along the way. Throughout the class, adventurous techniques like chine collé and monotype will be demonstrated to augment students’ designs. Everyone will leave with 2 to 4 collections of artwork to share with the world!
