Intro To Gel Printing Create and Sip Workshop
Sunday October 1st 4:30-6:30
Instructor: Cynthia Riccolo
Class Limit 10 Participants, Register Today!
$50.00 All materials are included
Bring an alcoholic or non alcoholic drink to sip and learn a fun and unique art form. Gelli/Gel printing is a form of art that allows you to make vibrant prints using a plate made out of gelatine. It’s done by transferring the paints from the plate to the paper. Previously in order to make monoprints, you had to have a press but this fun way of making prints just got easier. The gelli plate is a soft silicone plate that allows to you create beautiful, one-of-a-kind prints to be used in collage, coasters, cardmaking as well as wall art. The possibilities are endless. Beginners welcome!
The painterly approach to monotypes (gel printing) can range from loose and spontaneous to structured and carefully planned…and everything in between. In other words – this technique is for everyone!!! Come get your art on with us!
