Paper-cut Calavera & Stencil Print
Learn how to design and cut your own calavera using color construction paper, scissors, glue stick and black marker. This guided tutorial will both outline the creation of a hand cut skull and its use as a stencil for making a silkscreen print. The silkscreen process will be further demonstrated through the exposure of a screen and subsequent printing of the calavera cutout design.
*A kit including paper, cutting tools, and marker may be picked up at the TANA Monday, 10/19 3-6pm, and Tuesday 10/20 3-6pm.
