In this workshop, we are going to focus on creating gelli prints on both muslin and canvas and create a canvas journal for embellishment. Techniques will include monoprinting, stenciling and stamping, tag-making and much more. Muslin and canvas absorb acrylic paint much differently than paper yet add so much opportunity for creative embellishment, join us for a day of experimentation with gelli plates. Seating will be limited to 10, so sign up quickly. Those gelli plates are flying off the shelf as crafters and artists are discovering their potential for creative exploration. You don’t want to miss out on this fun-filled workshop! 

Supplies to bring: Gelli Arts printing plate (any size), hard rubber brayer, gesso and suitable paint brush for preparing canvas pages, small foam brush, craft sheet, blank canvas journal, small bottle of hand sanitizer for cleaning your plate. (Gloves are optional if you are a neatnik.)

Instructor will provide: Craft acrylic paints, paper towels, stencils and stamps, textures (both found and purchased), muslin. Please note that as an option, you may bring your own from home.

Note: It is highly recommended that you go ahead and gesso (2 coats) the pages of your canvas journal prior to coming to the workshop so that you have sufficient drying time (I let mine dry overnight) and can begin immediately to print onto your substrate. You’ll be able to get further in the workshop if you do this “homework”.
