Classes

  

Participants are typically shown a variety of contemporary and historic prints as examples at the beginning of the workshop. Everyone then proceeds to carve and print their own designs to become familiar with the tools and materials unique to this process. At the end of the session, participants may trade with one another. The goal is to be enriched and to have fun.
