Minni PrintShop - Nature Edition (virtual)

Minni virtual workshops are designed to keep little ones ages 4–10 creating from the comfort of home. Each themed workshop focuses on skill development, simple repurposed materials and unique ways to engage with our environments.

In Minni PrintShop – Nature Edition (virtual) aspiring printers and painters will play with patterns and explore a selection of printmaking techniques using natural materials and found objects. Instructor Maria will emphasize pattern, color palette and process as students explore printmaking methods with objects collected from nature, including shells, leaves and flower petals.
