Printmaking by hand is simple, economical and non-toxic. Starting by hand-cutting a plate and printing a single colour, you will then be able to progress to multi-colour and/or multi-layered images. Possible variations abound; it’s a playful process, with a long history. No previous experience is required, but a playful spirit is always an asset.

The workshop will be held at Victoria’s home studio in downtown Toronto near King & Spadina, Directions to the studio will be provided to participants upon registration.
