dAlanna Austin is a printmaker and multimedia artist from Boulder, Colorado, although she recently moved to Texas. Her work has been exhibited across the country and she recently was featured in a solo exhibition at the Denver Art Museum and in August of 2022 in Melbourne, Australia.

In this workshop, we used the newly developed techniques of gelli plate printmaking to create form, color, line and began to discuss the technical approaches of making a non editioned images. These techniques are important as they do not require a press, nor do they require much set up, and can be done from home and continued in all spaces as we will be using non-toxic inks.

Materials Needed for Class:
  • NOTE:  The Gelli Plates will be supplied and are included in your registration price.
    Gelli Plate 8” x 10”: Can be ordered here https://www.gelliarts.com/collections/products, on Amazon https://a.co/d/7p6AdTv and small selection at Meiningers in Denver.
  • Acrylic Paint: I would recommend a least the primary colors and black and white but can be any brand of your choice and the colors you are most interested.
  • 2 Brayers 4”: These can be found at most art stores and online. I would recommend a harder brayer not soft if you can.
  • Variety of Paintbrushes: This should be all less than an inch and smaller for acrylic paint
  • Variety of Art Sponges
Recommended:
  • An apron or smock to protect your clothing
  • I would also recommend bring a variety of textures, this can be lace, leaves, flowers, various fabrics, string because texture can play a prominent role in art
