About this Event
In this workshop with Barb DeRousie, you will learn how to begin Gelli printing without the need for specialised
equipment and create your own unique collage papers.
Whether you are a complete beginner or
simply curious about the use of the Gelli plate, this workshop is for you. It will introduce you to
the secrets of this remarkable tool and the creative possibilities it offers. Upon mastering the
technique of Gelli plate printing, the goal will be to have fun and leave with several printed
papers that you will cherish.
All supplies are included. We will be using a 6-inch square Gelli plate, a brayer for rolling on
acrylic paint and printing on a variety of different papers. Demonstrations will be provided on
the technique of applying acrylic paint to the Gelli plate using a brayer and on how to pull two and
three-layer prints using various masks and stencils. The instructor will engage with
students as they work.
