Mini Printmaking Workshop: Pronto Plate Printing

Jul 12, 2022 9AM-12PM

CONCEPT: Experiment with the pronto plate process and create multiples of your own unique print in a couple of hours. This easy and accessible method has evolved out of the much more involved and traditional lithography process and elicits similar results. Play with mark making, linework, textures and color in this fun and exploratory workshop.

MEDIA: Pronto Plate process, inking, registration, press use
