"The beautiful is as useful as the useful. Perhaps more so." Victor Hugo


 * What is Printmaking?**

The field of art concerned with the transferal of ink or paint from a plate or block or through a screen mesh to paper. The original drawing and plate are not the work of art. The work of art is the Print itself.

This class will give you the chance to create art in a new way. You will experience new techniques that will give you a wide variety of visual effects.
