In this class we’ll be creating a mosaic collage, where you take an image and dissect it, then piece papers together to make it whole again.  Paper piecing using the papers you create on the gelli plate, and also using the plate to add finer details.  I recreated a previous art journal page, using a handful of papers made during a printing session. What fun! Use any outline of an image you want.  I will have a full color copy of the page for you as well as the template to make the page.

Bring with you basic gelli printing supplies, including: Gelli plate & brayer, Apron, table cover, Stencils, Acrylic paints, Paper towels, wet wipes, Palette knife/card scraper, Paper trimmer, scissors, ruler (straight edge), Black archival ink pad and foam dauber, Gel medium or wet glue, UHU glue stick, Paint pens (Pebeo, Posca – black & white), Mark making or texture tools a variety of stamps & Art foamies (optional). Specialty products and most papers will be supplied.

Bring with you some basic supplies: apron, non-stick mat, Art Journal of your choice, heat gun, detail scissors, palette knife, paper trimmer, paper towels, wet wipes, spray bottle with water, pencil and eraser, brushes & water basin, Distress Oxide ink pads & foam applicator, in fall colours (I used Aged Mahogany, Gathered Twigs, Mermaid Lagoon, Fossilized Amber, Forest Moss, Rusty Hinge), Gesso, Molding paste, texture stencil – any texture will do (I used Tim Holtz ‘Dot Fade’), and Washi tapes from your collection.
