Printmaking is an artform using transference of an image as its mode of expression. It has a rich tradition that continues to this day. JNAAG has acquired two mini printing presses that participants in this two-part workshop series will learn to use. These workshops will give you insights into various aspects of printmaking including working with editions, rainbow rolls, colour blending, and making mulit-colour prints from one linoleum block. No prior experience is necessary.
