Printmaking Workshop: Chine Collé

This month we will explore chine collé with instructor Jeanne McDonagh.  Chine collé is an art collage technique that we will use in conjecture with drypoint etching to add color to our prints using tissue paper.  We will also have the option of adding additional color to your print using watercolor.  We will print our final designs on printmaking paper using an etching press.   The instructor will share images for you to etch or you can bring your own images not larger than 8 inches. This is an adult class.
