Printmaking simplified
This project demonstrates the principles of printmaking.
Without the tools or materials used for linocut, this DIYs project creates prints that children can still be proud of.
As the materials used are very simple and inexpensive, it is possible to create a great number of prints and exercise your printing skills as much as you want.
This project was developped for the magazine 'Campus Junior' of the University of Geneva.
