Printmaker Acadia Kandora lead sessions in creating prints from hand-drawn or computer-generated images using a traditional method of carving the image in a matrix that was inked and printed. Her session explored a traditional printing process at the foundation of modern printing processes. Discover more about Acadia and printmaking in this blog post.
