Please come with a sketchbook and your favorite special materials, papers (maps, old papers, book/music notes, etc), magazines, textures (botanical in nature are especially nice) and unconventional tools such as combs, cookie cutters, bubble wrap, rubber stamps, corrugated cardboard. #3) with Astia Carrega you will be exploring a technique that artist Paul Gauguin pioneered in 1899. At the time,  it was a new printing technique that he called oil transfer drawings Today it is called "Trace Monotypes".  Inking glass plates with oil based etching inks and exploring different kinds of mark making through tools and pressure is a quick fun way to make interesting imagery.
