This type of printing is versatile and inexpensive, requiring very few tools or special skills.

What supplies students need to bring? If you have simple line drawings 5″X7″ or smaller, that you would like to try to reproduce in print form, bring those. Also Any inspirational images, patterns or photos that you think will help you make some good images may be brought (and I will provide some as well).
