Nature Relief Prints

Each student will produce a striking tree print (approximately 25 x 40 inches) and explore additional smaller prints using plants and flowers. This workshop introduces the fundamentals of relief printing, including inking techniques, proper ink coverage, and printmaking processes. Participants will gain experience working with natural textures and forms while creating one-of-a-kind prints to take home. Please wear clothing that can get dirty, as printing ink may stain and bring any plants from home you want to print.
