Printmaking without a press! In my Studio! This workshop takes place in my Prescott, AZ studio. Enjoy a morning of art making! Gelli printing is a way to create beautiful papers and designs to be used in art journaling, card making, backgrounds, and much more. Using just a few materials, you will be printing with your Gelli plate before you know it! I will show you step by step how to use your Gelli plate with acrylic paints and stencils, and various found objects like string, sponge, combs, and other household items. Join me for a fun morning of painting and printing! I think you'll love the results! We'll use a variety of papers, like copy paper, book pages, maps, deli paper, baking parchment, and lots of other papers in my studio.
