Art with Heart folks held a printmaking workshop on Saturday July 19th for folks involved in the Special Olympics. Not only was it a boatload of fun, it was the first time many of them had ever done a project like this.

The workshop was based on an activity from Chill & Spill: we asked the artists to think about words that described who they really were. They chose one, or a few, to illustrate, through the printing process. We had many choices for them: including collagraph, foam relief or linoleum block printing. Everyone chose whichever medium suited them best and some tried all three!

The staff really enjoyed the hands-on teaching and sharing experience with everyone, especially Doris, our self-proclaimed “non-artist” (we keep telling her that everyone is an artist, but she just refuses to believe us!).

As you can see, the results spoke for themselves! You can see more photos posted in our gallery section.
