Class Description:

Dive into the colorful world of Gelli Plate Printing! In this fun and engaging 2-hour workshop, you’ll learn the basics of the gelli printing process while exploring color patterns, stamping and embellishments.  Using acrylic paints and fish-inspired imagery, you’ll create your own one-of-a-kind fish print reminiscent of the underwater style shown in the sample artwork.

You'll go home with a beautifully matted and framed 8" x 10" print that is uniquely yours and ready for display or give as a thoughtful handmade gift.

No experience is necessary, and ALL SUPPLIES INCLUDED. Participants are encouraged to bring an apron or wear old clothes, as acrylic paints can be messy. 

Supplies Needed:

All materials are included
