Geli plates are a versatile tool for experimenting with printing layers and textures. In our first week, we will generate fodder for future collage through drawings, mark making and gelli plate printing. Demos will include a variety of techniques to produce a variety of prints.
For our first week we will cover the basics of monotype printing on a gelatine plate. Week two, we will experiment with building layers onto the plate and letting them dry.
For our third, we will sort what we created, and discuss how to reproduce our favorite prints. Then we will use our papers into collage, and discuss special considerations for materials.
Students will create prints to be used as backgrounds, to be cut into shapes and elements within a collage, with options to experiment with transparent layers. Class time will include examples and demos, with some work time, but because of the nature of printing, students will be encouraged to continue printing between sessions.
All sessions are recorded..
I strongly suggest taking this class before the Gelli Plate Image Transfer in May. If you have taken this class you can save $25 off that class with code: TRANSFERME.
