Monotype
Loved the class--my second printmaking class. The teacher was wonderful. Many of my fellow students were professional artists--mostly painters. But it wasn't an intimidating experience for those of us who were not. Instead, I think they upped our game in the best way. Folks were inspiring and supportive. Highly recommended. -
