Come and join artist Kyla Cresswell in this 2.5-hour workshop, where you’ll be introduced to the printmaking technique of embossing. You will hand-carve your own block, explore the beautiful, subtle art of printmaking, create prints with the aide of an etching press, and take home both your block and printed embossings.

Learn:
• How to combine embossing with colour
• Which tools to use
• Troubleshooting tips
• How embossing differs from debossing

All materials and tools are provided. You’ll also receive class handouts with the process and a list of suppliers.
