WINTER TEEN PRINTMAKING CAMP
Calling all high schoolers! This three day camp is a hands-on introduction to three different printmaking techniques. You'll try lino printing, carving your own original design into a linoleum block and running it through the press to pull your prints. You'll also learn screenprinting, prepping a stencil and printing bold, layered designs onto fabric. And you'll get into riso printing, a fun and affordable process that's great for making posters and zines in bright, layered color.

By the end of camp, you'll have a stack of prints made across three totally different techniques, along with a solid foundation in printmaking basics to build upon at home, in our open lab or in future classes.
