Printing with Styrofoam Plates: A Family Activity
This month we have a unique opportunity at Expressions Graphics. We have a guest printmaker who is exhibiting in our gallery Rene Arceo. He has exhibited widely in the Midwest, Mexico and Canada. Rene also teaches in the Chicago public school system. He's a wonderful teacher and is doing a benefit workshop to help our not-for-proffit printmaking gallery and studio.

Create prints using new and recycled Styrofoam (plates, containers). There is no carving and no sharp tools involved. It is easy for adults and children of any age. Create your image on the Styrofoam using a regular pencil or ball-point pen. Print by hand on regular typing paper using water based markers. Very easy and lots of fun for the whole family.


Fee: $15 One Parent/Child
Sat. March 20, 10:00 am-11:00 am
Instructor: Rene Arceo.
