Printing from Nature Printmaking Workshop

Join artist Jill Burks for this fun and hands-on art making workshop, open to all ages!

Art is all around us at Hudson Crossing Park! Create one-of-a-kind prints and a greeting card using leaves, grasses, and flowers from gathered from park grounds, as you learn the fun and freedom of monotype printmaking - a technique that does not require a press. Experiment with ink/paint and natural stencils to create unique layered prints that are full of texture, color and form under the helpful guidance of artist Jill Burks during this morning of art at the park.
