Pronto Plates with Deb Kostisin

​Join Deb Kostisin of Church Street Press in a hands-on printmaking workshop! In this session, students will learn the process of using pronto plates to create prints.

Pronto plates are used in place of heavy lithographic stones. Using gum arabic, a sponge and water you seal the plate that you have drawn on with sharpie markers and Bic ballpoint pens. Using the brayer, you roll oil based ink on the plate, wipe off the excess ink and using the barren or a press transfer the image onto your paper.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, this class offers an introduction into the many different aspects of printmaking!
