Cottage Courses: Wrapping Paper Printmaking with Janis Stemmerman
Join Cottage Courses for an afternoon of block printing with Brooklyn and Sharon, CT based artist, Janis Stemmermann. Janis will be leading us through stamp carving methods using available materials such as apples and potatoes to create patterned prints on paper you can use for all your holiday wrapping needs.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. If you and your child would both like to make wrapping paper, kindly buy two tickets.
