ASL Night: Monoprint Mixed Media Workshop with Youmee Lee

Learn to create monoprints with various media using brayers, brushes, stencils, and paint sticks! We will make monoprints by painting designs on plexiglass before printing them on paper and applying collage and image transfers. This workshop, centered on social justice, is intended to be playful and fun, encouraging participants to express themselves boldly!
