Class Description: Join Tricia in this class where you will use the idea of experimenting, and using the printing presses to create abstract images using recycled materials. These found materials create all kinds of markings, shapes images, and layering – as they make their way through the press. When peeling back the paper for the look, it is the surprise element that keeps me coming back to this process. This process also works well with other printmaking processes. Using materials that would otherwise end up straight in landfill, they are given another chance to play on our plexi-plates, and create interesting artful images that are so intriguing, they might even be considered poetic.
Additional details: Tricia will send out an email 1-2 weeks prior to the class date with additional details. I look forward to making ART and printing with you!
