This is a two-session online workshop.

With a plexiglass plate and water-based inks students will use a variety of mono-printing techniques to create imagery, texture and pattern. With the resulting selection of hand-printed papers they will assemble an accordion book to express a theme of their choice. There will be direction in how to add playful pop-ups for dimension, and a hard cover. 

Students will print in the first session and have time to create more prints as homework, then attend the second class with their dry papers to assemble into a unique book.
