What?
Learn how to create prints on the gelliplate using stencils and masks.
We'll start by exploring the gelliplate to create some base layers to print on top of and learn the basics of gelliprinting.
Then we'll create stencils/ masks to use on the gelliplate - these can be anything from abstract shapes or realistic shapes like leaves or other. Lots of examples of the teachers own stencils will be provided.
We'll use the stencils to explore creating silhouette and ghost prints and then layered prints, exploring limited colour palettes and using different combinations of the 2 basic print types.
No drawing or printmaking experience needed for this course - just a willingness to play and explore in a supportive environment - and with no need for specialist equipment, this can be done at the kitchen table if you get hooked!
This course is ideal for beginners but can be useful for those with some experience too.
