In this hands-on class, we will explore “scrappy” printmaking. The goal is to make expressive prints largely from upcycled materials you likely have at home. This will include using packaging to make drypoint and relief prints; using scraps to make collages that can be printed; making relief plates using foam produce trays - and more! You will need a few basic printmaking materials, but most supplies can be scavenged. Hand printing will be emphasized, so access to a printing press is not required. This will be a fun, exploratory class that emphasizes process and experimentation.

This highly interactive course piggybacks on the author’s award-winning book of the same title. Participants will learn creative in-camera concepts, principles, and techniques, without having to spend hours in front of the computer manipulating images. Members will learn two photography paradigms/models. Included in those models are concepts and techniques like intuition, extracting, impressionism, surrealism through photography, and eastern philosophy applications to photography.

Let the calming meditative practice of Zentangle drawing infuse the upcoming holidays with a festive spirit. Projects will use Zentangle principles and patterns to craft cards, gifts, little books, and decor. No previous experience is necessary.
