Continuing her monthly series of gel plate printing workshops, Karen Doyle will inspire students to mix, layer, and experiment with multiple gel plate techniques to produce unique, finished works of art. This new workshop will give students a chance to dive deeper into one or more techniques that interest them. Bring your stencils, botanicals, laser print images or magazine transfers. Bring the kinds of paint and paper you enjoy or want to try. Work on creating finished prints or improving your technique. Karen will demonstrate how she prints and will help students with techniques they want to learn or improve. Gel plate printing is an experimental process, a combination of art and science, and Karen will talk about both. She will discuss what inspires her and share explanations of both successes and failures, and how these led to additional exploration. If you’ve been wanting to dedicate time to practicing techniques on the gel plate, are a painterly printer, or a printmaker wanting to learn image transfers, come join us. Please see the materials list for full details. Come have fun, print, and make friends!
You do not need to have taken Karen’s prior workshops to join this one.
