Learn the basics of printmaking in a small group with an experienced printmaker. Margaret will demonstrate a new technique weekly that you can try with her support.

You also learn how to: manage dirty and clean spaces and ink properly and use the printing press. Cost: $140 non-members plus $10 materials

Enroll at www.kacc.org.nz... or email Margaret at info@kacc.org.nz for more information. Membership for the year costs $55 and gives access to untutored groups and cheaper class fees.
