WINTER IMPRESSIONS:

CHINE-COLLÉ USED WRAPPING PAPER WITH GEL PLATE

Workshop Description:
Providing an accessible, affordable, and portable modality for artists of all skill levels, gel plate printmaking makes complex, layered fine art printing achievable right at home. This winter session introduces the traditional art of Chine-Collé—bonding lightweight papers, salvaged tissue, or discarded holiday wrapping paper seamlessly onto the main print during the pulling process. Participants will learn to manipulate positive and negative compositional space, using repurposed decorative papers to add sudden, dramatic shifts in color and tactile texture. By fusing collage directly with fresh paint layers on the gel plate, attendees will leave with uniquely upcycled seasonal impressions. Bring used thin wrapping paper!

APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS:

PASTEL IMAGE TRANSFERS WITH THE GEL PLATE

Workshop Description:
As an accessible, affordable, and portable modality, gel plate printmaking offers endless versatility for artists looking to blend mixed media without needing specialized, bulky equipment.

Attendees will master how dry drawing media interacts with the gel layer, successfully transferring delicate floral sketches and expressive linework onto their chosen paper substrates. The session concludes with a demonstration on proper plate preservation and thorough mineral oil cleaning to ensure continuous, crisp transfers for future projects. Bring your imagination!
