Printing Workshop: "Light from Leon"

Over the course of six afternoons, you’ll create your very own prints. Mixing colors and rolling them out is great fun—here you’ll get your first taste of “one-off printing” and “hand printing,” and try your hand at rolling out your plates. The picture book “Lights Out, Leon!” by Josh Pyke, with imaginative illustrations by Chris Nixon, tells the story of Leon, who supposedly isn’t afraid of the dark at all. That would be silly. The way Leon eventually faces his fears is both funny and encouraging. Inspired by this, you’ll create your own works. Together, we’ll explore colors and shapes. And here’s another fun part: everyone gets a picture frame—because framing a print is a skill to be learned! Please bring: a pencil case with an HB pencil, scissors, and a glue stick (no liquid glue), a smock or stain-resistant clothing, or an old shirt with tight-fitting sleeves, a drink, and a small snack if needed **6 sessions starting June 17** For children ages 5–7
