"Working through the printmaking process offered students the opportunity to express their creativity in new and exciting ways," the museum's Arts and Maker Specialist Dustin Thacker said in a statement.
Thacker added, "Given the chance to work with a professional artist, students are able to broaden their artistic horizons, see themselves as artists, and celebrate the joy of creating."
