This workshop is great for beginners and professional artists alike! We will work with the Gelli Plates and Golden's acrylic paints...specifically OPEN, for it's long easy open time, and with the High Flow ink like acrylics that brings some  beautiful color and delicate washes to our prints. Multiple simple and accessible techniques will be demoed.....including registration, masking, stencils, stamping and multiple printing. For years artist have found monoprinting to be a springboard for new ideas, working in a series and getting an abstract start.  This is a great way to create collage papers as we will also work on thin deli papers that are great for layered images and transfers.

A Gelli plate looks and feels like DIY gelatin plate, but is durable, reusable and stores at room temperature. Plus making your own can be hit or miss.  Gelli brand plates are easy to clean and always ready for printing. Monoprinting on a Gelli plate is simple and fun. The gratification is immediate, and the prints are too cool! And you can print on fabric too!
All Golden paints and mediums are provided, as well as brayer and Catalyst tools for mark making, and Deli papers.  Participants will need to bring a 5" x 7" to 8" x 10" (in that range....there are also square sizes) Gelli plate.
