Summer Camp 2026 (7 - 12 years): Creative Printmaking

Discover the art of printmaking through two exciting hands-on techniques: cyanotype (sun printing) and block printing. In this workshop, children will create beautiful blue-and-white sun prints using natural light before designing their own printing blocks from cardboard and foam board to produce original patterns and artworks. Along the way, they will explore texture, repetition, composition, and layering while experimenting with different creative processes and developing their artistic skills. Each participant will take home a collection of unique prints created using both techniques.
