Made a letterpress polymer plate (top/goldfish) today at the printshop by drawing on pictórico with a permapaque marker (bottom/black). Learned the process in the letterpress class I’ve been helping with. @alldayveronicaparty has taught me so much about letterpress and guided me through this particular process Thank you Veronica! . . . . #art #polymerplate #letterpress #printmaking #angel #form #spudnikpress #process #artwork #chicago #number #symbol #body #shape #linework #matrix #teaching #learning
