In this workshop you will break the routine, embrace the unknown, and explore the possibilities. You will re-arrange, subvert, adjust or radically change the existing plate(s) or image(s). In most cases, you won’t actually need to change the plate, just change the way in which it is applied.
Discovering the unexpected in new and experimental ways to create new artworks can be challenging taking you outside your comfort zone.
