<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&#34;Times New Roman&#34;,serif"><span style="font-family:&#34;Arial&#34;,sans-serif">You will learn how to create etchings by tracing images onto plastic sheets, inking them, and using a printing press to produce your artwork.</span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&#34;Times New Roman&#34;,serif"><span style="font-family:&#34;Arial&#34;,sans-serif">Experiment with mark-making techniques to transform photos of meaningful places, pets, or your own abstract designs into striking prints.

<li><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&#34;Times New Roman&#34;,serif"><span style="font-family:&#34;Arial&#34;,sans-serif">If you have photographs (A5 size max), please bring them. Other options will be available if you don&#039;t. The printing process flips your image, so if orientation matters (e.g., numbers or recognizable places), flip it before printing. You can easily do this on your phone by going to &#039;edit,&#039; then &#039;crop and flip’</span></span></span></li>
