Creative Arts with ArtisTree: Printing a Forest
Thursday, November 5, 1:30-3:00 PM, Register in advance
802-457-3277

November is a revealing month as the deciduous trees display their skeletal structure and open the forest to display the rich conifers. The pines, spruce and firs exhibit hues of green ranging from the blue to yellow spectrum on the color wheel. These lush trees encourage us to play with pigment, contrast and pattern with the art of printmaking.

We will explore printing—an art where we apply ink to an engraved design and press onto paper. The beginner may try their hand using existing printing plates and the adventurous may explore incising their own design onto small plates. Nature inspires and provides us with a wonderful opportunity to create. Come join us and play!
