This wonderfully easy to use printer can do a wide range of printing techniques. This class is for anyone interested in printing their own cards or art, it is not just for calligraphers. Over the 6 weeks, several printing techniques will be demonstrated and you will not only learn how to design a printed piece but you will create them as well. The goal is that by the end of the class you have printed a set of cards (or art prints) of your own making.
