You are in luck Mixed Media Printmakers Retreat is designed to:

- Help you create time, space and energy your art practice deserves
- Give you new layering and combining techniques
This is the plan:
- A two week long online course to support you in dedicating a little more time to your art practice
- Each lesson day will begin with refreshing your mind set, be it, a meditative mark making practice, a walk, a writing, or other activity to support your commitment to your art retreat.
- The skill based element of this course will be learning several book forms to transform those piles of prints into works of art.

This is what people are saying about printmaking courses with Linda Germain:
If you think that you can’t learn in an online environment, think again!
You will be amazed at how much you learn from Linda. Each day she shows you techniques, through her very informative videos. You can play the videos again and again to further understand the process.
I learned the basics – making a plate, rolling ink (this took some practice!) and pulling a print. I am pleased with this. I feel that I can really move on and explore this technique in greater depth on my own.

Prior to this class, I had been working primarily with the acrylic paint on the commercial gelatin plate. The best thing was learning how to work with printmaking ink on the homemade gelatin and glycerin plate. Linda is an excellent teacher who is very well organized. She breaks everything down into easily digestible bits of information. Her genuine passion for the art form is inspiring.
