Join Boston-based teaching artist and interdisciplinary artist Zahirah Nur Truth of ZNT Arts for an evening of experimentation, play, and creative discovery through monoprinting.
Together we'll explore the magic of layering color, texture, and pattern using Gelli plates and everyday objects to create unique, one-of-a-kind prints. Through demonstrations and guided prompts, participants will learn how monoprinting can be both intuitive and forgiving, making it an accessible printmaking process for beginners and experienced makers alike.
