Desert Weeds, Basic Printmaking Workshop

Drop in from 1-4:00 p.m.
Collagraphy is a printmaking process incorporating drawing, painting, and/or relief techniques, in which flat materials such as leaves, weeds, or any other flat materials are applied to a rigid surface such as cardboard, wood, or plexiglass. The design is painting, pressed, and transferred onto paper, resulting in a unique collagraph print or monotype.
