  • Explore how UV light, plants, objects, and found imagery can be used to create images.
  • Experiment with composition, layering, and exposure.
  • Discover how natural materials such as turmeric and hibiscus can be used to create alternative colours and effects.
  • Explore adding paint and mixed media to your finished prints.
  • Gain ideas and techniques you can continue experimenting with at home.
You'll walk away with your unique prints to show off with pride, and new printing skills to keep experimenting with!
