Inking Clinic: Awesome Ombrés-Virtual Workshop
2021-06-13 11:00 - 12:30 (America/New_York)
Bring your pre-carved block, your inks, tools and a fabric item to print and lets spend 90 minutes learning my signature ombré technique, a method of creating a multi-colored print using a single block, brayer and plexi. We will discuss ink ratios and color combinations that work well together. Please note: there is NO carving or designing in this workshop, just printing.
