About this Event
Gelli Plate Printmaking
Led by Janie Reisler
$90 (includes materials fee)
In this workshop, attendees will experiment with printing using a GELLI PLATE inspired by Abstract Expressionism. Abstract Expressionism is an American art movement that emerged in the 1940s and 1950s. You may recognize paintings in this category which are often characterised by gestural brush-strokes or mark-making, the impression of spontaneity, large fields of color, and action (think Helen Frankenthaler, Mark Rothko, Willem De Kooning, and more!)
What is a Gelli Plate? Gelli Plates are reusable printing plates that let you make monoprints without a large, expensive press. They look and feel like gelatin. With quick clean up they allow for many uses and encourage experimentation and layering. This is a fun way to use printmaking!
What to expect: You will create unique papers by color blending, working with layers, mark making, substractive methods, layered mask printing, and stencils.
With a short lesson on color theory, blending, and Abstract Expressionism, students will leave the workshop with a few dozen novelty art papers to add to their future art projects or to hang as a unique fine art print!
This is a workshop for every level of artist from beginner to experienced painter.
