In this live virtual Introduction to Gel plate printing class, we will go through the “do’s and don’ts” of use and care for your plate, tips and tricks for creating interesting textures and motifs, making and using stencils, creating patterns, and more! We will also discuss various potential artistic applications for what you create. If you’d like, you will have the opportunity to ask questions & share some of your creations with others in the class. No experience is necessary and only a desire to experiment and have fun is required.
