Share our open-ended adventure into monoprint design. Stamp with found objects, make stencils from paper, as you use your gel plate to create layered images. Along the way, we’ll discuss design essentials: color, value, shape, line. By the end of class you'll have a stack of prints  for collage, card-making, or multi-media creations. Beginner to experienced, relax into your own creative rhythm. Tuition covers all materials.

With Artist Linda Dunn

  • COVID Requirements

    Based on current guidance from the Arlington Department of Health, CDC, and other local and national public health agencies, Arlington Center for the Arts (ACA) will no longer require proof of COVID vaccinations for participation in our programs, including classes, camps, exhibits, performances, and events. While masks continue to be optional at ACA, they are strongly recommended, and we encourage everyone to review current masking recommendations from the CDC to inform their personal choices.


    ACA is aware that public health guidance re: COVID-19 continues to change and evolve – all current policies are subject to change, in order to best align with current guidance and to preserve the safety of all of our constituents. Please be on the lookout for updated policies and protocols moving forward.
