Small Hands, Big Prints!
This workshop is designed for Primary through Grade Three teachers who want to adapt the medium of screen printing for young students, using classroom/easily sourced materials. With a focus on designs connected with Math, Literacy, and Social Studies outcomes, teachers will explore the art of adapted screen printing on paper, homemade inks, and collaborative models needed in print studios.
