THE RISK, DISCHARGE AND RELEASE, AND HOLD HARMLESS includes any claims relating to the actions,

agree that participants must be symptom free (no coughing or fever) in order to participate in the program.

In this class you will learn a variety of water-based

brushing, and painting multiple layers, one achieves

subtle and softer effects, very different from Western

oil-based printmaking. This principle translates

beautifully to silkscreen, monotype and other

techniques.

supplies for the first class and discuss what else
