In-person workshop held at SNAP

Explore mixed media methods during this weekend-long class by incorporating photo transfer techniques with silkscreen printing. You will learn how to transfer your photos onto wood by manually separating ink from paper and removing all of the paper fibers by hand. Artist Caitlin Bodewitz will teach you her tips and tricks for achieving flawless photo transfers and how to integrate layers of design, shapes or text over top using handmade stencils and colourful screen inks. At the end of the class you will take home a series of 3 unique wood panel prints!

*No experience is necessary, this workshop is recommended for beginner and intermediate artists. All ability levels are encouraged to register.
