Printmaking - Wednesday EVENING (8 week duration) Term 1 2026

This class is for both beginners and for experienced printmakers who want to work independently on projects, with individual guidance from the teacher.

In this class there is much value in the learning that occurs within the group dynamic and the communal workshop environment.
