Gel printing is one of the most satisfying — and surprisingly forgiving — printmaking techniques out there. No experience required, no special artistic background, no pressure to make something perfect. Just paint, a gel plate, and the pleasure of seeing what happens when you pull a print.
In this four-hour workshop, we'll explore the fundamentals of gel printing together and use what we learn to make two small, finished projects you'll actually want to keep.
Instructor
Cindy Jones Lantier
