More Praise for Linda Germain and Monotype printmaking
“Linda’s guided process (yoga printmaking) is instantly effective to arrest self-censoring, free the impulse, and introduce essential “moves” in mono-printing. She provides the tools and atmosphere that nurture the student’s unique creative vocabulary.” David Zoffoli , Executive Director – Creative Haverhill – Monotypes on Fabric
