Discover the playful and creative world of gelli printing! Using a gel plate, you’ll create one-of-a-kind prints full of color, texture, and layered depth.

We’ll provide everything you need: gel plates, paper, brayers (rollers), paint, and a variety of fun tools like stencils, stamps, and texture makers. Whether you're brand new to printmaking or just curious to try something different, this class is a great place to begin. Once you get started, it’s hard to stop—the ideas (and prints!) just keep coming.

You'll leave class with a handmade card and several printed pieces, ready to use as backgrounds, borders, collage elements, or the start of your next mixed media masterpiece. Come play, experiment, and have a blast learning the art of gelli printing!
