I also use pastel over monoprints<BR/><BR/>I have access to a print workshop - but it gets rather expensive as printmaking is a very time consuming process.<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to persuade one of the colleges I teach at to invest in one ..... those lunchtimes could be happily spent playing on it :>)vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.com
