More Praise for Linda Germain and Monotype printmaking

“Linda’s guided process (yoga printmaking) is instantly effective to arrest self-censoring, free the impulse, and introduce essential “moves” in mono-printing. She provides the tools and atmosphere that nurture the student’s unique creative vocabulary.”
