In this workshop we will review the basics of Gel Printing and then move beyond these to creating art through collage.

Morning Session.

Using gel plates, acrylic paints and a range of papers participants will learn the techniques to achieve three different methods of gel printing.

· the wet pull

· the peel print

· the drawn print.

Afternoon Session.

Having created a range of gel printed papers members will then learn the main compositional principles of collage and create an artwork using the printed gel papers.

Materials required.

· Gel plate - if you have your own, please bring it along. There are some A5 plates at the studio that can be used.

· A rubber brayer - ( there are some spares for you to share if needed).

· Red, blue, yellow and white acrylic paint of your choice. (Choose either cool or warm tones.) Or if you have a preferred palette, bring those paints along. A mix of transparent and opaque is good.

· Liquitex basics and Jo Sonya are reliable brands and reasonably priced at Spotlight stores. Other brands will still work however the cheaper the paint the faster it will dry.

· The studio will supply some copy paper and tissue but if you would like to bring other paper feel free e.g. brown paper, rice paper, music sheets. etc.

· An apron, Baby wipes, disposable gloves.

· Your lunch, coffee mug

Morning tea will be provided.

We look forward to a creative and inspiring day together.

You will need to wear closed in shoes while working in the studio for work, health & safety reasons.

Looking forward to working with you.
