Description

Learn to use the Gelli plate and make unique and vibrant multi-layer monoprints by hand using slow-dry Golden OPEN acrylic paints!

In this workshop, learn how to apply paint onto a Gelli plate, create masks, incorporate stencils, layer translucent and opaque paints and build up multiple layers.

Students will create stacks of unique multi-layered prints that can be matted or framed or used in creating mixed media art. One thing is for sure: there will be both planned and spontaneous results!

Supply List:

Gelli Plate, 5x7 or larger
Golden OPEN acrylic paints (normal acrylic paints will not work with this specific process, it must be the OPEN line from Golden)
normal acrylic paint in white and black, any brand
4-inch soft rubber brayer
printmaking paper (i.e. cheap drawing paper, tissue paper, old papers from books, sheet music, maps, etc.)
baby wipes
stencils or plant material of any kind (i.e. ferns, leaves, any odds and ends of lace, string, yarn, corrugated cardboard, any items with texture)
marking tools (i.e. chopsticks, soft-ended scrappers, or anything that will mark but not puncture the Gelli Plate)
a few paint brushes
scissors
newsprint paper or scraps to off-load extra paint

Students are encouraged to bring snacks or a bagged lunch.

Very fun and inspiring! Really liked having the option to rent a kit or use my own materials. Would be great to be able to buy materials through or with a link from Art on 30th! Also, thank you for Sunday classes that enable those of us who live in North County to attend!
