Printmaking on Gelli Plates (1- Day Class)
Join us for a dynamic, interactive 3-hour class making botanical paper prints from gelatin plates, aka "Gelli" plates.
This non-toxic form of printmaking utilizes color and texture to create one of a kind (mono)prints. We will print a variety of plants & flowers, while exploring composition development with the use of layering techniques. Gelli printing offers instant access to a form of playful self-expression that helps to develop free associative thinking in a fun and supportive environment.
Ages: 16+
All supplies and materials will be provided.

Tetrapak Printmaking (1 - Day Class)
Create and print your own plate while learning about the unique form of printmaking using a recycled Tetrapak carton (aka an asceptic container, used for things like boxed soup or chai tea!).
This class is ideal for those who have limited experience with Intaglio printmaking, which is printing ink from within the grooves of the plate. Tetrapak plates are made by scratching at or cutting away the material, implementing various collagraph and drypoint techniques, and leveraging the existing creases and folks in the tetrapak to add a unique touch.
There will be a short instructor demo and hands-on assistance throughout the workshop. Students will perform all the steps of printing, from making a tetrapak plate, mixing and applying ink, and finally to making a print using the press. Come have some fun in our new printmaking studio!
Ages: 16+
All supplies and materials will be provided.
