RAW Art Works hosted an engaging workshop called "Portable Trace Monotype Print Kits and Self-Portraits" for aspiring college-level art students. The workshop involved a mix of hand-drawn images, smartphone apps, photography, and the trace monotype printmaking technique. Josh Brennan and Marc Schepens, the workshop instructors, visited the Lynne, MA location for this hands-on art-making activity. The workshop started with an informative discussion about the technique's history, followed by a fun technical demonstration. Throughout the workshop, students created several impressive fine art impressions, and as a parting gift, they received a portable kit of printmaking materials to continue the experimentation.
