botanical gel printing
Explore the art of Gel printing!
This workshop is all about process and experimentation. There will be a brief discussion and demonstration of different gel printing techniques, about balance in composition, and about color harmony. Next, students will gather leaves, flowers and other elements from outside the studio, or choose from the instructor’s collection of synthetic plants. The remainder of our time will be spent experimenting with layering, ghost printing, composition and color combinations.
This medium is playful and freeing, and a great way to loosen up for those who tend to carry stress or lean towards perfectionism. It’s about trusting the process, and being open to surprises. Every print is unique, just like the artist that creates it!
By the end of the workshop, students will take home several finished prints.
