Valentine’s Day Printmaking Fest for Grown-ups
Saturday, February 13, 1:00pm to 3:00pm
For Valentine’s day, dip a naked toe into the fabulously fun art of printmaking! Linocut transforms the simplest of images into bold, dramatic prints that can be transferred to paper or fabric. In this workshop you’ll carve a simple design and then use your linocut plate to print colorful and unique rainbow-roll Valentines. The hand-printing techniques you’ll learn will enable you to continue printmaking at home! Beginners welcome. Instructor: Katie Gilmartin
Valentine’s Day Printmaking Fest for Kids (age 8-13)
Saturday, February 13, 10:00am to 12:00pm
Come explore the serendipitous world of monoprints using your fingers, brushes, rags, rollers, leaves, fabrics, stencils — and dazzling color! At the end of your printing time, you will take home cards and images for Valentines. Monoprints are unique images, so no two prints are ever exactly alike. Bring with you a few leaves or flowers, doilies, or other thin, flat items you are willing to ink up in your printing experiments! Instructor: Sarah Jelley
