Gel Plate Experience
Gel Plate Experience with Teri Jones
Learn to pull interesting layered prints from a gel plate on deli paper, copy paper and Bristol Board or Mixed Media Paper. We will make prints to use as either collage papers or fine art prints, using a variety of acrylic paints, found objects, handmade or store bought stamps and stencils and a bit of patience to create wondrous art.
The capacity for this class is 24 students. This class is presented in collaboration with the John C. Campbell Folk School. There will be an optional Orientation and Closing Ceremony hosted from the Folk School campus that students can attend online.
