This is the first time we have ever participated in an art workshop so didn't know what to expect. First of all, the warm lovely greeting by Francisco was... read more so welcoming. He gave us a tour of his studio and then a very informative explanation and demonstration regarding the tools and print making process. We went outside to choose some materials to use and then it was time to explore and create prints while enjoying a nice bottle of red wine, brie and sliced pears. We were SO EXCITED to experiment with the print process and so pleased to be able to make so many prints, many that we would actually frame. Highly recommend this lovely creative experience with Francisco! Try it!
