There is just something special about doing art projects in a park. In partnership with Mint Artist Guild, we are bringing art workshops to Palmer Park in Detroit. In this three-week workshop, led by artist Linda Buck, you will explore linocut, multicolor Styrofoam prints and collagraphs. These techniques can be used to create multiple originals, monoprints, and combination images. Printmaking may be a new way of making art for many. The ability to make “multiple originals” appeals to artists who may wish to sell their work. You will learn that printmaking can be done with minimal equipment and expense.
