This is the final part of a series of sessions on abstract focussed gelliprinting for the Gelliprint Monthly group - but there are spots available for those who just want a one off.
It's designed for people who have some Gelliprinting experience but it's also suitable for beginners with some art or other printing experience or a curiosity to play and learn.
For November's sessions we'll be exploring layering with bold abstract shapes and using Frisket (a low tack material) as the stencil/ mask to create rich layered works.
We'll be working with transparent layers in the lower layers (building on previous months' work) then coming in with an opaque layer to create a final focussed design, highlighting areas of interest through the choice of where you place the final masks.
There's also the option to collage works together to build larger pieces, or to explore building larger pieces from any sized plate using masking and more inspired by Gelliprint practices of Mark Yeates (photo 2) and others.
There's plenty of scope within the session for people to take on the modelling but go their own way or use any of the previous session's learning to try something of their own - with support when needed!
