Introduction to Gelli Printing with Mary Ellen Raneri (NEW)

Wednesday, July 23rd
Time: 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Cost:
$35 per artist

  • 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. This versatile process is perfect for making handmade cards, embellishing fabric, enhancing art journals, or creating frame-worthy artwork. Best of all—there’s no way to mess up. Seriously!

    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!

    Registration Required.

  • All materials and supplies included! Feel free to bring any of your own "fun tools" and texture makers!
