Working with an inexpensive gel plate, acrylic paints and pickings from your own home garden you can make beautiful prints without a press! These prints can be matted and framed, cut up for collage projects, or made into cards. Gelli plates and Gel Press plates can be purchased online. Many types of acrylic paint will work; but professional and student grade paints are best. Participants can bring their own supplies if they have them (brayer, acrylic paint and various types of paper to print on including: copy paper, tissue paper, card stock, tracing paper, vellum and drawing or printmaking paper). Note that heavy paper is harder to print on.Materials provided by instructor:
