I am putting together a (way too short) printmaking unit for my high school art students and have found your blog invaluable as I try to get my head around how to set up the space, how much to lecture, how many projects are feasible, and how much to just let the kids explore and experiment. I teach in a homeschool co-op housed in a local rented church building so everything for our printmaking unit must be brought to the classroom by me every week. I've been scanning your photos with an eagle eye for ideas on re-useable, inexpensive, and portable methods to make this class a success. Your ideas for using foil cookie trays, wax paper, plastic spoons and other easy-to-come-by materials are inspired. Thank you for helping me save my budget and my back!! ;)<br /><br />(I am also just slightly jealous of your table top printing press. Hopefully I can turn this small printmaking unit into a full-fledged high school art course in the future... maybe then I can justify purchasing a press for myself.)<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again for sharing your great tips and tricks for teaching printmaking to kids. And for sharing your own printmaking efforts too; you do lovely work. I will definitely be back to hunt for more inspiration!paperlanternsnoreply@blogger.com
