Printmaking for Teens is being held at two branches during March Break:

This workshop is for teens ages 12-19. Each participant will receive a bag to print on. If you are interested in an additional printmaking project please bring a t-shirt to print on.

This is a free workshop but space is limited! Register in-person at the branch where you will taking the workshop or call to reserve your spot.

This workshop is great for those who want to learn a super cool art technique, express themselves, and have fun while doing it. Plus, once you've learned the basics of printmaking you can use your new skills to make unique gifts and other great stuff – from personalized stationery and greeting cards to gift wrap, posters, pillows, scarves, dishes, wall art…the possibilities are limited only by your imagination!
