MAKE YOUR
FIRST MARK.
Hands-on printmaking workshops.
One shape. One color. A real first proof.

Start with an even film.
The brayer spreads ink over the raised surface. Too much ink can fill edges; begin with a thin film and make a test proof.

at the bench.
Illustrative formats. Confirm timing, access, materials and availability with a real provider.
THE MARK IS ONLY
HALF THE LESSON.
Notice the thinness of the ink. Feel how the paper meets the plate. Learn to read a proof before making the next one. You leave with an object—and a better question to ask of your materials.
