Gelli Printing
Tuesday, September 12, 5:00 P.M.–7:00 P.M.
2D/3D Studio (Trim 215)
FREE. Registration opens August 28.
Create monotype prints with Gelli Plates, vegan non-gelatin plates that allow you to make easy monotypes by hand without a printing press. This quick and fun method of printing allows for a lot of experimentation with colors, layers, textures, and stencils. Approach it like a painting with brushes, use pre-made or selfmade stencils, or simply use leaves, feathers, and string to mask out different shapes. We will have numerous stencils, leaves, feathers, and more, but please feel free to bring your own as well. Please dress accordingly and expect to get paint on your clothes.
