Manny Santos is a jazz percussionist, bandleader, and vocalist who hails from New Bedford, Massachusetts and is of Cape Verdean decent. He became interested in jazz percussion at an early age and began performing professionally at the age of 15.

Printmaking Studies: Lithography Made Easy

Lithography is a planographic printmaking method. Unlike the relief or intaglio printing process, there are no raised or carved out areas.

In this class you will learn a simple method using common household products instead of the chemicals used in traditional lithography.
