Idea Studio - Kitchen

Join us in the Idea Studio kitchen to see informal demonstrations and learn about blind embossing using our printing press in the Idea Studio.

The Press Club (for printmakers) meets in the Fond du Lac Public Library Idea Studio to explore printing techniques and sometimes hear from guest speakers.

For February we will be learning about and how to blind emboss on paper. This is a technique that adds texture to paper without involving ink or foil. Dampened paper is pressed into grooves or a raised surface and the resulting effect can sometimes be quite subtle, requiring the viewer to shift their position, or alter lighting to see the actual embossing. 

No experience is necessary for this free program. The program is designed for adults and teens age 13 and older; younger children are allowed with a parent or caregiver when the Press Club meets.
