Join designer and illustrator Natashna Anderson (known creatively as natashNa A.) for this 90-minute beginning printmaking workshop where you’ll design, carve, and print a design of your own creation. Natashna will guide participants through the whole process, from drafting an image to transferring the image to paper with an ink pad. Learn a new skill (or brush up on an old one) and print something amazing! This class is for all skill levels and is available for teen and adult students 16+.  If you need accommodations for this program, please contact the Foundry as soon as you are able. 

In addition to the Introduction to Printmaking workshop, Natashna will be teaching Printmaking II and Printmaking III.  Those who register for all three workshops will be given a 12” x 12” wooden block upon completion of Prinmaking III.  Students can carve their block using their new skills and have the block printed at our annual Block Party on June 13, 2026!
