First print-siples

[offcntr]

Last March, Denise and I took a trip to the Oregon coast to attend a printmaking workshop, learning mono-prints using Gelli Plates. It's a fun, easy process, quick to pick up, which is how I ended up offering to teach it to Denise's book arts group. Which somehow morphed into also teaching a class for the public at the Maude Kerns Arts Center.

They've recently re-opened their Printmaker's Studio, and a one-day Gelli Printing workshop seems tailor-made to spark interest in the facility. Details:

Gelli Print Workshop
Frank Gosar
Class ID #2569

Immerse yourself in an afternoon of printmaking! Create beautiful monoprints with a Gelli Plate and water based ink. Using a variety of tools and easily accessible supplies, you can produce a myriad of textures and patterns. Learn the additive and subtractive methods, how to use pattern-making tools, stamps, stencils, and more. Gelli Plate printing is loads of fun for everyone, from beginner to advanced. Have a blast and leave with a stack of one-of-a-kind hand-prints!
