Discover the fun and versatility of using Gelli plates to create stunning one-off prints. Learn Gelli printing basics as well as advanced techniques with a variety of printing surfaces, stencils, stamps and tools. Learn masking, transfers, transparencies, and layering. Slice, dice, tear, layer, mark up, and paste your prints to construct a unique collage. This class fosters a supportive and inspiring environment that emphasizes the fun of exploration and discovery. Engage in hands-on exercises, demonstrations, and guided experimentation. Amass a portfolio of Gelli prints and Gelli-Collages that reflect your aesthetic.  Note: Throughout class we will share work-in-progress and engage in constructive critiques.
