Pop Art Gel Prints Workshop

Create your own beautiful prints in this unique Pop art gel printing workshop inspired by works in the exhibition Pop to Present: American Art from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have crafted approximately 10 prints, each reflecting your personal touch and creativity.

This workshop is suitable for all levels, all you need is an interest in exploring and learning new techniques in a supportive and inspiring environment.
