The Gelli plate is an incredible tool for making monoprints without a press. We will use it to create unique multilayer prints using slow drying Golden OPEN paints. In this class, you will learn how to apply paint onto a Gelli plate, create masks and stamps, incorporate stencils and foliage, build up multiple layers, and learn to transfer magazine images. The resulting monoprints will then be incorporated into designed compositions on hardboard panels. 

 

Materials Gelli plate; brayer; Golden OPEN acrylic paints; paper; and panels are included for use during the class. All materials are provided with the fee paid to the instructor.

Max students: 8
