First Fridays at PrintSpace have been a way to come together once a month and share ideas and interests while making prints of one kind or another. We have created some great art together, and I've appreciated the Innovations, support and kindness of our community of printers!

I absolutely love opening the studio so people can experience the workings of an etching press. This month, we will have a zoom session, but also have the bonus of coming to PrintSpace over the Open Studio weekend, June 5th and 6th. From noon til 6 PM, I will have a table and canopy outside the studio for those who can to stop by with your plate and print it using brayers and ink.

On the June 4th zoom at 7PM, we will share ideas for making collagraph plates. We can create crayon rubbings of the plates as well as "inking" the plates with the washable markers and dampened paper.

Materials needed:

Card stock or cereal box type cardboard

Scissors

Elmers liquid glue

Washable markers

Crayons

Sponge, paper towel or spray bottle

Lightweight printing paper or copy paper

This is a relaxing and pretty easy tech workshop that as usual, is open to any type of imagery. All skill levels are welcome!
