Workshop Alert!
Our first Gelli Plate Printmaking Workshop led by Janel Warmington in early summer was such a hit, we are bringing it back on Sunday, Nov. 15, 10am to 3pm..
Gelli plates are a reusable non-toxic synthetic polymer ‘plate’ infused with mineral oil, that can be used with acrylic paint to create one-of-a-kind pieces without the need for an expensive printing press.
Janel will guide you through the basics of printing with a Gelli Plate including:
- Care and storage of your gelli plate
- How a gelli plate works
- Printing with natural or found objects
- Transferring magazine images onto the plate
- Hand painting or colouring on the plate
- Creating and using stencils with your prints
- Collaging onto your gelli plate print
- Printing art cards from your gelli print
Fee: $130 (incudes 8″x10″ gelli plate to take home)
All materials plus an 8″ x 10″ gelli plate are included in the fee. FYI, this size gelli plate would retail for $38 (not including shipping).
Contact elephantgrassprint@gmail.com to register. Preregistration and payment is required as space is limited to 10 people. The workshop in June filled quickly, so don’t delay.
