In this quick and fun class, you’ll learn how to make your own reusable Gel Printmaking Plate using safe household ingredients. I will also share pro tips about caring, use and storage for your plate. Even though this will be a “live” class, you do not have to create your plate during the class. The directions and tips will be easy to follow and replicate afterward, at your convenience. *Please Note: The plate will NOT be ready for use for immediate use, so I will make one to set aside and then demonstrate proper handling using one that is made ahead of time.
