Beyond the Basics
Printmaking on the Gel Plate
with Jennifer Love
COST: $250, including taxes
Sat & Sun, Mar 7&8
10am-4pm
This workshop is for those who already understand the basics - we will
move beyond the fundamentals of gelprinting to resist/transfer printing
using magazine pages, patterned wrapping paper, and laser prints of
your own drawings or photographs. Combining multiple techniques and
layers in a single-pull print. Exploring possibilities for adding extra colour
before and after lifting the print, including reverse painting with acrylics,
markers or Pan Pastels.
We will push the boundaries of everyday gelprinting by working with charcoal transfers, sprayed water, or modifying your laser print by sanding….the possibilities are endless.
Students will need to bring a gel plate or two (NB: not Speedball brand. Gelli Arts or Gel Press brand are good) and some high quality laser prints (Jennifer can have these printed for you) — a supply list will be provided. Jennifer will also provide detailed class notes, sample binders/finished prints & collages for inspiration, and for use during the class: a wealth of textural materials, stencils and stamps, extra paints, and some extra laser prints. She’ll also email ahead of time, info on how to amend your laser print images to make them more graphic, create double exposures, etc.
