Did you know that you can use nature to create simple, yet stunning prints that capture the intricate beauty of plants and other natural objects? In this session you will explore the basics of nature printing - experimenting, observing, and creating beautiful prints right from nature. There are no rules—just the freedom to ‘go potty’ and print with wild abandon using a variety of techniques that Jo will share with you. At the end of this session you will have created
your own artwork, or handmade card to adorn a wall, or give as a gift to someone special.
