Printshop, Berlin

*Obviously not India, but I'm eager to start posting and wanted to give Blogsy a test run. We wandered into this printshop on our first night in Berlin after a long and frustrating day and a half of travel. I bought a print of a zigzaggy television set and Ed chose one about a pumpkin family eating pumpkin pie. Printmaking with children is wonderful, there's so much to explore, so many experiments and tech inquest. This fall I printed Blexbolex inspired people with third graders. We drew with water based crayola markers on medium coated mat board collages plates. The markers allowed for incredible accuracy with color placement and transferred beautifully onto damp paper when we printed.
