Visitors watch the artist at work, then try printmaking themselves and talk with him about how the pieces were made — a good hands-on introduction to printmaking for school-age children and teens. Drop in any time during the five hours; it falls on the same day as the downtown Fall Gallery Walk, so families can make an art afternoon of it. ## Similar picks in Washington, DC - [Kids Create: Corn Husk Dolls at Hillcrest Heights Library](https://grassyknees.com/washington-dc/activities/kids-create-corn-husk-dolls-at-hillcrest-heights-library--listing-7bea64d3e59d167da188d486) — Wed, Nov 18 · 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM · Hillcrest Heights Branch Library, Temple Hills · Ages 5–12 · Free · checked Oct 20.
