Has your inner artist been stifled by too many years of logical, linear thinking? Or worse, were you harshly critiqued or summarily rejected by an uncaring art teacher in school? Or do you just need a break from your routine and a chance to be creative? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you need a print making lesson with artist Larry Stefl. Larry hosts individuals and small groups at his airy Emeryville studio for monotype print masking lessons. Larry is a gifted teacher — he is able meet people where they are and bring them to the next level. His passion for this art form is contagious and his kind demeanor and genuine praise heal all past art wounds. During my recent session, I was transformed from an awkward self-conscious student to a confident artist. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of printmaking and can’t wait to frame my masterpieces!
