Adults, bring your creative kid to try different techniques and make various prints together! We will explore mono-printing with foam and gel plates, collagraph-making, stamp-making, puzzle linocuts, and open work time. Attending parent or guardian participation is required for each child. Each session will feature a different method of layering water-based ink or acrylic paint to create a print that follows a socially aware prompt. Then, each pair (kid + adult) will decide what image to make using the technique explored that day. At the end of the allotted time, the group will take turns sharing their final print, explaining why they chose it and what they learned.
