Virtual Art Workshop:
Potato Print: printed mandala

Come join us this Friday, February 26 from 6:00–8:00 pm for a fun virtual art workshop with artist/illustrator, Karin Mansberg where we will make relief stamps out of potatoes and create mandala prints and other patterns (on paper or fabric). The stamps can be as simple as circle to more detailed complex ones. The emphasis is on process and experimentation with printed pattern and color. All skill levels are welcome from beginner to advanced. Share with your friends and family. Do it together and enjoy a night of fun creativity together. Since it's virtual, you don't have to be local to participate! Minimal materials needed. A materials list and the Zoom link to the workshop will be provided with registration. Be creative! Grab some potatoes and let’s print! We hope you can make it! Sign up at wcsuvpac.eventbrite.com.
