The Magic of Print Making ~
Image Transfers, Mono & Relief Printing:

Experiment, play, and learn simple hands-on printmaking methods. Each week we enlist common materials; foam sheets, masking & clear packing tape, soft-cut Lino sheets, cyanotype, and found objects. The current MOCA exhibition will serve to inspire our exploration. We’ll use simple tools such as acetate, brushes, water & oil-based inks, brayers, barrens, cardboard, solar papers, and more as our hand-printmaking experience opens new doors for creativity and self-expression. No previous art experience is required.
Visit the ASAP website for a full listing of free programs for Veterans & family members

VEER Magazine Review by Betsy DeJulio of ‘Unbound’
Charles H Taylor Art Center, Hampton, Virginia 

February 3 – February 24, 2024

My fall 2023 course (my 4th ASAP studio) at Virginia MOCA is sponsored by ASAP (Armed Services Arts Programs).
If you, or family members, friends, or cohorts have served in uniform and now feel the urge to explore the creative voice … share the good news and visit the ASAP website to learn about the rich offerings. Through generous supporters, ASAP classes are free to veterans and their families serving more than 600 veterans each year.
