Beyond the Basics: Advanced Gel Plate

Service Description

This workshop is for those who already know the fundamentals of printing with a gel plate. We will push the boundaries of what is possible, with several image transfer techniques, using laser prints of your own drawings or photographs, wrapping paper and magazine pages. Combining multiple techniques and layers in a single-pull print, drawing on the plate with acrylic paint or coloured markers and using the gel plate in a more painterly way will also be explored. Join us to expand your printmaking skillset in an atmosphere of exploration and discovery. Materials: Students to bring their own supplies. Jennifer will email them a supply list detailing requirements for their laser prints (important), best paints to bring, etc. The class will be using mostly acrylic paints, including Golden OPEN.
