THE AGENDA

The focus of this workshop is primarily on watercolor, but each participant will have time to try their hand at letterpress printing.

We will provide a brief overview of the press before you print. All participants will have time on the press to print Day of the Dead themed cards using gold ink on black and white paper. We will then watercolor paint them using a shimmery palette, while we share tips and tricks. The design of the print is inspired by "papel picado" or cut paper - the colorful Mexican banners that are used to decorate an altar to honor ancestors and loved ones for Day of the Dead.

INCLUDED IN WORKSHOP

  • 6 letterpress printed flat cards or art prints
    Size: A2 6" x 4.5" can be used as an art print, mailable card or can be strung up like decorate flags.
