Chair of Printmaking, University of Hawaii at Manoa
Feb. 10. 2018, Saturday 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Workshop Description:
This course will combine the use of traditional hand cut stencil processes and relief

subtractive and additive methods of relief ink rolling. An important aspect of the class is
the use of inexpensive, readily available, and non-toxic materials and tools.
