Printmaking Without a Press: Making Monoprints with a Gelli Plate

Printmaking Without a Press: Making Monoprints with a Gelli Plate

Presented by Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill at Online/Virtual Space

We will discuss printmaking concepts, such as making duplicates, variations on a theme, and sequences. Using a  Gelli plate, acrylic inks and a brayer,  you will explore numerous simple techniques. Upon completing this four-day workshop, you will leave with a portfolio of unique prints and the ability to fearlessly build on your new-found knowledge. You will need to purchase a Gelli-plate, brayer, and inks. We will share our prints on Padlet so the ability to take and upload digital photographs or send them via email is a requirement. We will meet on Zoom. No previous experience is necessary. Age 12 and up.
