July 26-27 | Weekend Intensive: Collagraph Printing (2 Days)

The first 3 enrollees for this class will receive a gift package courtesy of Speedball Art delivered to their home! Thanks to Speedball Art for their generosity and support for Spudnik Press classes.

Join us for a two-day mixed-media workshop and discover the art of printmaking with a press. Collagraph, derived from the Greek meaning “drawing made with glue,” is a technique that involves creating textured collages to form unique printing matrices.

In this workshop, you’ll experiment with various materials to craft your own textured compositions on day 1, which will then be inked and transformed into prints on day 2. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced printer, this class offers a fantastic opportunity to explore creative expression while mastering the fundamentals of printmaking.
