Program Description

Event Details

Explore the technique of blind embossing with artist Jeanne McDonagh. Blind embossing is a printmaking technique that creates a 3d dimensional plate from made and found shapes that results in a raised, tactile impression that can be seen and felt.  We’ll have cardboard, hot glue and a variety of art supplies for you to experiment with building a composition.  We will emboss our final designs on printmaking paper.  This workshop is intended for adults.
