Gelli printing is easy and fun! In this two-day workshop, students will use leaves, grasses, and blossoms to create several simple and charming compositions printed in different color combinations on a variety of papers. Students will be provided with a gel plate, brayer, paint, papers, and botanicals to incorporate into the designs of their choice. On day two of the workshop, students can cut, collage, and reassemble their prints into finished works for home decor, note cards, journal additions, and more. The only limit is your imagination!
Please bring to class an apron to protect clothing and any papers you think might be fun to use as well as a botanical collection of simple forms that will lie flat on the plate.

Through unique and low-tech surface design techniques, artists will learn to develop experimental strategies to create elements to collage with on canvas. We will use dye, paint, ink, thread, and pastels and observe how the materials speak to each other when collaging our elements on the painted canvas. We will look at and discuss my work, your work, and the exceptional work of other artists, including those working at the Creative Growth Studio. We will inspire and support each other’s creative impulses and each artist’s individual voice.
We will cut out collage elements, prepare our canvas, apply elements to the canvas, and finish the canvas with acrylic polymer and cold wax.
Student Supply List (please bring):
Thread for embellishment
Old credit card/plastic squeegee
