GELLI PLATE STUDIO
1PM - 3PM Wednesday September 4, 11, 18 - $75 per person
Unlock the magic of the gelatin plate for printing at home. The gelatin plate (brand names Gelli Plate or Gel Press) is a wonderful tool to create a variety of prints, whether you want a unique monotype or papers for collage (and many other things in between).
During these studio sessions we’ll unlock how to make the most of your gelli plate, including what materials and tools to use, learning about the two primary ways to build images, and exploring a wide range of paints and tools.
Each week will have a different theme – starting with the basics of applying paint and using your tools, all the way to advanced techniques such as creating monotypes and even printing on ceramics!
We’ll look at the work of different print artists working in different printing mediums and consider what we can bring into the world of gelli plate printing.
Bring your gelli plate and have fun!
Paints and most tools will be provided. Artists are encouraged to bring their own gel plates (6in x 6in or larger) and brayers, but some will be available for use if you’re just getting started. A recommended supplies list is available at: https://www.dickblick.com/lists/wishlist/RHKH2KB7L4DR4
