Printmaking is an art form that is tactile, varied and repeatable with images printed as unique works, as multiples or as variations. This class will explore a range of printmaking techniques including textured rubbings, found object prints, monoprints, relief printing and collographs. In most cases, to create their pieces, students in this class will be reusing objects such as cardboard, styrofoam and found natural objects – sustainable and creative!

Bookmaking participants will learn how to make several different styles of books (accordion style, star format, pop-up and sewn books). Skills such as folding, stitching and illustrating will be practiced. The end result will be a rich tapestry for the participant's imagination, and for use in countless ways.
