The flatbed-offset press is the most versatile tool available to printmakers and printers alike. It can be used to print lithographs, monotypes, and wood cuts as well as used to make films for silkscreen and transfers for etching and letterpress work. Best of all you do not have to draw backwards! This class will show students how to use the press as a drawing tool, not just an editioning machine. Class participants will be able to develop a multi-process print project as well as a working knowledge of the flatbed offset proofing press
