Gelli plate printing is beginner-friendly, versatile, and fun, with lots of room for exploration. In this workshop we’ll focus on specific techniques like resists, stencils, and transfers. Using a variety of pigments and mediums to apply to your plate you will learn how to pull a perfect print. Following the lesson participants will have time to work on their own ideas with help from your instructor Leah Springate.
