Never used a gelli plate before? Not to worry, this is the workshop for you. This workshop starts at the beginning by students learning and getting comfortable with what this tool can do. The time in the class is process focused with no ulterior motives. You won’t leave with a finished product from these sessions but you will leave with a stack of prints and tons of ideas on how you can use the gelli plate in your own art making going forward. This workshop is great for artists who need a few hours of creative play, as well as beginning printmakers who want an ease-filled introduction to the world of mono printing. We will create quick, no pressure mono prints on all kinds of paper using simple marks and symbols.
A materials fee of $15** (included in the workshop price) will cover the paint, paper and any other supplies used during the class.
