Arrive with your enthusiasm and open mind. Andrea will supply all art materials needed.

2. Develop the plexiglass plate surface using brayers and brushes.
3. Remove and add details with fingers, rags and brushes.
4. Align the freshly-painted plate onto the press bed.
5. 600lbs. of pressure is applied to transfer the image to paper.
6. Pull the paper to reveal your completed piece of art.
