Schedule:  Apr 27, May 4 & 11, 2021 — 6pm - 8pm (PT);
7pm - 9pm (MT); 8pm - 10pm (CT); 9pm - 11pm (ET); 
Registration for this class will close on Tuesday, April 13th at 6:00pm to allow adequate time to process and mail kits.

Long before the printing press was invented artists and craft peoples have used direct printmaking techniques to express themselves and embellish their surroundings. In your own space you will learn how to use stencils, relief printing, rubbings, and direct transfer methods along with hand coloring and collage to create your own individual artworks.

No previous print or drawing experience is necessary. Students will be provided with a basic supply kit. This class will incorporate synchronous, live learning. Emphasis will be placed upon personal artistic development along with learning traditional craft skills and innovative contemporary drawing and print techniques. By the end of the third session each student should have several finished pieces suitable for framing. 

You have two options when registering: to have a kit mailed to you or to pick up a kit at BARN. If you want your kit mailed, please verify your mailing address when registering. If you choose to pick up your kit, you will be notified by email when and where kits can be picked up.

You may want to sign up for the follow-up Intermediate class that will further your skills and knowledge. Class begins on May 25th. To read more and register click here.
