Fee: $120/ discount with member code
Ages: 16+
Levels: All
Sessions: 1

Learn how to create unique monoprints without a press using a gel printing plate. In this class, we'll use an 8" x 10" gel plate with acrylic paint, found textures, and DIY stencils and stamps. We'll work to create prints that can stand on their own, but gel-printed papers are also wonderful for collages, cards, art journals, or other mixed-media projects.

Unlike many traditional printmaking techniques, gel printing has minimal setup and is easy to do almost anywhere.

Students will learn:

  • Techniques for creating layered prints using a gel plate and acrylic paint.

  • How to use homemade stencils/masks and found objects to create interesting textures in your prints.

  • A basic understanding of how different paints and papers may impact your finished prints.

  • How to use, care for, and store a gel printing plate.

Students will create monoprints and a variety of printed papers using a gel plate. These prints may also be used for collages, cards, art journals, or other mixed-media projects.

Gel Printing with Botanicals
$115.00

Date: Sunday, May 3 from 12 pm - 3 pm

Fee: $115 discount with member code

Ages: 18+

Levels: All

Sessions: 1

Instructor: Maren Oates

Location: Schack Art Center, Studio 1 & 2

In this workshop, students will be introduced to Gel Plate Printmaking using an 8" x 10" gel plate and acrylic paint. We’ll learn to work with leaves, ferns, branches, and flowers to build unique botanical gel prints. Our goal will be to create botanical monoprints and monotypes that can stand on their own, but gel-printed papers are also excellent material for collages, cards, art journals, or other mixed-media projects.

Unlike many traditional printmaking techniques, gel printing has a minimal setup and does not require the use of a press, making it possible to do it from almost anywhere.

Students will learn:

  • A basic understanding of how paints and papers may impact gel prints, including thick vs. thin papers, opaque vs. transparent layers, and “What is the right amount of paint?”

  • • How to use botanical items, such as leaves, ferns, and flowers as textures and masks for gel printing.

  • • How to clean, care for, and store a gel printing plate.

All supplies are included, but an apron is recommended. Please dress for mess!

Gel Printing with Botanicals
$110.00

Date: Sunday, September 21 from 12 pm - 3 pm

Fee: $110 discount with member code

Ages: 18+

Levels: All

Sessions: 1

Instructor: Maren Oates

Location: Schack Art Center, Studio 1 & 2

In this workshop, students will be introduced to Gel Plate Printmaking using an 8" x 10" gel plate and acrylic paint. We’ll learn to work with leaves, ferns, branches, and flowers to build unique botanical gel prints. Our goal will be to create botanical monoprints and monotypes that can stand on their own, but gel-printed papers are also excellent material for collages, cards, art journals, or other mixed-media projects.

Unlike many traditional printmaking techniques, gel printing has a minimal setup and does not require the use of a press, making it possible to do it from almost anywhere.

Students will learn:

  • A basic understanding of how paints and papers may impact gel prints including thick vs. thin papers, opaque vs. transparent layers, and “What is the right amount of paint?”

  • • How to use botanical items, such as leaves, ferns, and flowers as textures and masks for gel printing.

  • • How to clean, care for, and store a gel printing plate.

All supplies are included, but an apron is recommended. Please dress for mess!

Learn how to create unique monoprints without a press using a gel printing plate. In this class, we'll use an 8" x 10" gel plate with acrylic paint, found textures, and DIY stencils and stamps. We'll work to create prints that can stand on their own, but gel-printed papers are also wonderful for collages, cards, art journals, or other mixed-media projects.

Unlike many traditional printmaking techniques, gel printing has minimal setup and is easy to do almost anywhere.

Students will learn:

  • Techniques for creating layered prints using a gel plate and acrylic paint.

  • How to use homemade stencils/masks and found objects to create interesting textures in your prints.

  • A basic understanding of how different paints and papers may impact your finished prints.

  • How to use, care for, and store a gel printing plate.

Students will create monoprints and a variety of printed papers using a gel plate. These prints may also be used for collages, cards, art journals, or other mixed-media projects.

All supplies are included, but an apron is recommended. Please dress for mess!
