WORKSHOP: Pushing The Boundaries Of Color And Pattern

Join me at the amazing PRINT HOUSE in Asheville, NC where I'll be teaching how to explore the creative potential of Akua Liquid Pigments. Perfect for artists of all levels, from complete beginners to experienced printmakers. This 3-day intensive will introduce innovative techniques for layering, blending, and designing bold color patterns on kozo (mulberry) paper.

PD Packard in her NYC studio: "My work is celebrated for its inventive use of color and pattern."

Learn how to create both delicate washes and vibrant, saturated hues with Akua soy-based, water-washable pigments.

Explore approaches that merge printmaking, painting, and dyeing techniques.

Experiment with multilayered color and pattern design.

Transform your printed papers into three-dimensional box structures.
