Beautiful Grunge with Gina Barry - HFAG Member - $35 |
Have you ever heard of a Gelli plate? Do you have one tucked away collecting dust? Whether you are completely new to gel printing or out of practice, it is time to dig out your plate and learn a fun way to use this tool!
This full-day workshop invites you to embrace the joy of letting go of control. We will learn a mono-printing technique to create rich, grungy layers using acrylic paint. Use this technique for holiday cards, or for covering over old pages to give them fresh life! These printed textures serve as a beautiful base layer for mixed media and collage.

Workshop Goals:
- Discover how the Gelli-plate monoprint helps you let go of perfection and embrace play.
- Produce a massive stack of custom collage papers during the class session and ideas for using them in your future artwork.
- Walk away with a handmade holiday card and begin a handmade “zine” to add your own artwork and share!
