The 918 Bathurst Centre is hosting a one-day printmaking workshop as part of the Open Studio’s Printopolis Festival, Saturday October 9, 2-4pm. Printopolis is a citywide festival celebrating the many forms of printmaking. Participants will be introduced to the basic techniques involved in screen printing and stenciling.
