Gocco Rhymes With Cocoa - Designing and Printing Your Own Cards, Gift Tags and Wrapping Paper with Print Gocco
Presenter: Marc Ellen Hamel
Saturday December 12, 1pm - 4pm
$15.00 for workshop + $8 materials fee
If you would love to combine simple handicrafts and graphic design in a
very accessible process, then this workshop is for you! During this
workshop, you will learn how to design and print cards, gift tags and
wrapping paper using the Print Gocco machine. Print Gocco is a Japanese
color screen printing system developed in 1977 by Noboru Hayama.
Resembling a toy, the compact and self-contained printer is clean,
quick and easy to use. You will leave with a minimum of twenty
images/cards (5" x 3") and envelopes and lots more if there is time!
You should wear clothes that can get dirty. There is an additional
materials fee for this workshop of $8.00 to cover the cost of creating
a master screen.
