Are you curious about the magic of monoprinting with gelli plates? During this one evening class, we will generate a plethora of printed images, from the hand drawn to more abstract explorations. Leave the class with a set of truly unique prints to gift to your friends, or create patterns and images to use for collages or other mixed media projects.
We will also investigate the properties of different inks, and how to use colour effectively by making use of ink transparencies and colour mixing.
Whether this is your first introduction to printmaking, or if you’re a painter looking for some new tricks and image transfer techniques, this is the perfect class for you!
