Book Arts Drop In & Print
The Book Arts Program at the University of Utah sponsors free workshops. My friend, Dana Perez, introduced me to the program and I am in love! My daughter and I went to our first Drop In workshop a couple of weeks ago and we had a grand time. First we went into the wet classroom and learned about Print Litho from Allyn Hart . We used black and white copied images that we covered in a liquid gum arabic. The gum arabic acted as a resist. We then rolled an oil paint over the image and the paint stuck to the copied image, allowing us to make a print of the image. There were a lot of people participating. Fun to see so many of all ages enjoying art! These are our prints and ghost prints: The two cleaner prints in the center are my daughters. Sigh. She picked this up quickly.
