About

Deepen your experience working with gel plates in this three-week, beginner-friendly class that dives just a little deeper into different techniques you can use to make gorgeous monoprints. You'll be learning a new technique each week on the gel plates:

  • Week One: Intro to gel plates, creating layers with texture, and learning how to mix colors.
  • Week Two: Ballpoint pen transfers.
  • Week Three: Laser transfers.

You'll be able to use several colors. Gel plates are wonderfully accessible as you can use them at home with non-toxic materials.

Details

  • Skill level: Beginner friendly! Experience with printmaking recommended but not required.
  • You'll be able to take home several prints each week. You'll be using acrylic paint, which dries fast.

Details

A materials fee of $15, included in the price of the class, covers all the materials you'll need.

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.
