The Painterly Gel Print with Sharon Robinson

Saturdays, January 6 -13 -20 from 1 to 5 P.M.
Printmaking using a gel plate offers a multitude of options for combining materials and techniques to achieve distinctive results and varied subject matter. Get even more out of your plate going beyond making patterns and impressions to drawing and painting on the plate to create prints with specific imagery. Learn simple techniques for transferring images to the plate for printing, layering, masking and brushwork, as well as techniques for collaging into prints. No drawing skills are necessary, but use of personal sketches, drawings of any subject, or other source material is welcome and encouraged.
