Gel Plate Experience
Gel Plate Experience with Teri Jones and Laurie Trumpet Williams
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.
This class is presented in collaboration with John C. Campbell Folk School and Lessonface. Class capacity is 24 students. Registration closes on November 11, 2023. Students are invited to attend a large group Orientation and Closing Ceremony to connect with various classes online.
