I like to use this plate in combination with the Speedball water based block printing inks. The ink stays alive and workable for a long period of time and permits the pick up of very delicate impressions.

Even if you can’t join us in this class, think about creating some boundaries to challenge your printmaking in a new direction.

You could limit tools, or colors or number of layers???? Try it see what happens.
