My Project

The new printmaking space in our classroom is amazing and students have been printing some really beautiful artwork. We currently have one light board in the room that helps us see our ink and etching. With 10-15 students you can guess that it is a hot commodity.

These tables really help students see their art come alive before they permanently print it on paper.

It would be an awesome addition to our printing program. We currently have 2 dedicated printing classes in the high school, and other classes have a printing project as part of their curriculum. We can also use tables for tracing and reworking art in drawing and painting lessons.
