Using stencils, lace, cardboard, cutouts, paper, doilies, flattened metal odds/ends, rick rack, string, vegetable netting and other interesting flat items found all over the house, we will create a series of similar but individual prints using Speedball water soluble printing ink.  

The class begins with a demo and then participants may creatively play and print. Most participants will create 6 to 9 prints (two or three series of three prints each). This method is very free flowing--you will not know exactly what you will have until the paper is pulled from the plate after going through the press. 

Fee: $65 includes all materials: Limited to 6 persons
