Gelli plate printmaking May 21 6-8p
Explore the vibrant, layered world of printmaking in this hands-on Gelli Plate class! This workshop focuses on creating one-of-a-kind monoprints using a gel printing plate and the unique possibilities of laser-printed imagery.
We’ll begin by learning the basics of Gelli printing—how to build layers, use texture tools, and apply color in creative ways. You’ll experiment with stencils, marks, and found textures to create rich, dynamic backgrounds. Using a laser printer, we’ll also incorporate image transfers into your prints, allowing you to add text, photos, or graphic elements with exciting, slightly unpredictable results that make each piece truly original.
Throughout the class, you’ll explore techniques like ghost printing, layering, and lifting images, discovering how each pull from the plate creates something new. The process is playful, fast-paced, and perfect for both beginners and experienced artists looking to loosen up and try something different.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a collection of unique prints and a deeper understanding o
\f how to combine traditional printmaking with digital imagery. You’ll leave inspired, a little inky, and ready to continue experimenting with Gelli printing at home or in your classroom.
