Hand Prints

I've been thinking a lot about hands lately: Hands Off, Hands Up, Hands Down, Helping Hands, Clean Hands, Dirty Hands, Hand Held, Hands Free, Praying Hands, Hands Across America...

We will make a tracing of our hand(s) to either transfer and engrave onto styrofoam or cut out of cardstock to build a collagraph plate. We will be able to print on papers and tea towels, positioning the plates, even folding them into gestures or sharing our hands with other participants.

Maybe there can even be a group print: All Hands on Deck!

Hopefully we can leave our gloves, mittens and hand warmers home.

Hope to see you on March 6th!

About First Fridays

First Fridays at PrintSpace have been a way to come together once a month and share ideas and interests while making prints of one kind or another. We have created some great art together, and I've appreciated the innovations, support and kindness of our community of printers!

It has also served as a teaser. Do you like this particular technique and want to explore its properties in depth? Schedule a session to experiment and print with your own focus. Organize your own small group session for a great bonding activity!

I absolutely love opening the studio so people can experience the workings of an etching press and the camaraderie of a printmaking studio.
