Printing with Gel Plates

Gel Plate Printing uses a gelatin based plate with paint to create amazing textures with ease. These prints can be stand alone monotype prints or collaged and layered with other prints.

Students will first learn how to make a gel plate matrix that they can keep and bring home for future use. Additional instructions will cover creating and layering colors and textures on the plate to build images, making stamps and stencils, and combining gel prints with other techniques such as paper lithography, chine-collé and collage.

This class is a great introduction to printmaking for the beginner and advanced students will surely learn new tips and techniques.

Includes one 3-hour practice session per week during monitored practice hours.
