The Woodstock Art Gallery is looking to get high school students interested in print making.

WOODSTOCK - High school students from Oxford County and beyond had the opportunity to learn more about print making portfolios at the Woodstock Art Gallery.

The gallery held its second annual portfolio day this past Friday.

Print Making Technician Ron Milton says they wanted to shine a light on the art form.

"The idea is to try and get students to learn about print making. They do get print making in most high schools but it's fairly limited on what they can do because the amount of equipment, materials and what the teachers can get away with."

Milton says the students were able to meet with a variety of different print making artists.

"There are quite a few artists here. Some of them are ex-students, some of them are friends and some of them I've met since I've been coming here. It's kind of a neat bag of tricks and we all do different kinds of mediums so the kids get a different concept of what can be done with the mediums."

Milton would love to turn the gallery' print making workshop into an open studio for aspiring artists someday.

Print making is an art form that uses a matrix to sketch an image onto a medium like plexiglass or metal.
