Children’s drawings are so fresh and authentic.  Before the kids get to that censoring stage and when they still draw with confidence.  As a parent you could make a thermofax screen from these line drawings and then print invitations, note cards or t-shirts.

I made this screen from my nephew’s sketch that he did a few years ago.

• Save some of your children’s drawings
• Photocopy them to the correct size with a toner based copy machine
• Get a Thermofax screen made
• Set up your workspace
• Prepare your papers or materials for printing
• And pull your prints

I was thinking that this drawing would make a cool invitation.

Are you inspired by children’s drawings?

Before every session, of Make Monotypes, I make a collage of my ideal student. I like to get in touch with you.  I like to remind myself of your:

• adventurous spirit
• willingness to play
• interest in color and layering
• art as passion or hobby
• desire to be part of a group
• printmaker, fiber artist, mixed media, surface designer and more

If you see yourself in this collage, then check out the details of Make Monotypes, the online printmaking course, with ink on paper and the homemade gelatin and glycerin printing plate.

Are you a creative person who would:

• Thrive in your art making with some group support
• Like to explore making monotype prints on the homemade gel plate
• Like to learn new techniques for gelatin printmaking
• Like a creative boost

If that sounds like you then mark your calendar for August 10th 8 AM EST, and join us for the next session of Make Monotypes.  This  online printmaking course that explores printing with ink on paper and the homemade glycerin and gelatin printing plate.  I look forward to working with you and exploring printmaking without a press with you.  Join the mailing list to get notice of new info and opportunities.
