Discover the fun and versatility of gelli plate printing in this two-session workshop! In the first 2 hour session, you’ll learn simple printing techniques and create a collection of colorful, textured papers to use in your artwork. In the second session, you’ll transform your handmade papers into a unique collage. All materials are provided, and no previous art or printmaking experience is necessary.
