This is a single-session online workshop.

Create stunning monoprints with leaves and found objects. Learn experimental techniques with this fun medium such as inking with masked objects and making ghost prints. Each person will create a unique set of greeting cards. We will then use the pamphlet stitch on one of the cards to sew a single signature book. All levels welcome!
