This workshop is a lot of fun, high energy, and so creative! Using a gelli plate to pull art prints is very addictive, and it’s so versatile! You’ll learn the basics and see how easy it is to create wonderful one-of-a-kind prints to enhance any project you have on the go, or simply bind the prints into an album or book to use in journaling. This class is also good for a refresher if you haven’t printed in a while. Upcoming project classes require you to have basic skills – here’s your chance to learn the art of printing!

Learn how to:

* use and care for the gelli plate

*use stencils and basic layering

*add visual texture and interest with texture tools

*build compositions

What to bring: 4” rubber brayer , acrylic paint – various colours you like to use (choose vibrant colors – eg. yellow, pink, orange, red, green, blue, purple), black and white acrylic paint, acrylic metallic paint, background stamps (to add texture), Stencils – bring what you have! Also bring an apron, paint brushes, plenty of paper towels and a pack of baby wipes. Everything else is supplied!
