Time to take a Printmaking Class

Give yourself the gift of time to practice your art.

I love September. It is all about going back to school. So I gave myself the gift of an art class. You could do the same.

Make Monotypes is a 4 week online printmaking class and it starts on September 19th. One student’s experience:

PRU2It was the best 4 weeks I can remember ever having in February! Linda’s preparation and planning for the class were flawless, and if we still had questions about the process, she never hesitated to think of different ways of explaining it.

I loved finding that there were participants from all over the world. It was a truly rich experience! The class left me with a huge curiosity about what I can now do on my own. Printmaking will continue to be a huge part of my art-making!

Just that I’m very grateful for Linda’s consideration, sensitivity, and sense of humor.
