The workshop is scheduled for Oct. 7 and will take place from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The cost of the workshop is $80 for MBAA members, with an additional $15 materials fee payable to the instructor on the day of the class. Non-members can participate for a fee of $100, also with a $15 materials fee payable to the instructor on the day of the class. The workshop, led by Judy Knott, will guide attendees through a series of hands-on gelli plate printing exercises aimed at producing papers suitable for collage and abstract paintings.
