Gel Printing Workshop with Patsy Bush
September 6 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Well known artist Patsy Bush returns to the Makers Shed in September!
Gel printing is a printing technique with a gel printing plate.
A gel printing plate, sometimes called a gelli plate, is a soft and sticky plate made out of a polymer material.
During this workshop participants will learn a number of different printing techniques which will enable them to build up layers of patterns and designs. Participants will learn how to print lace, leaves and a range of items to create interesting textures.
What participants will get
• approximately 10 unique A5 sized prints.
• 6 unique greeting cards
• written notes detailing the process.
• use of all the required materials including gel plates, paints, brayers, paper, and
textured objects
What to bring
• a few acrylic paints (there will be paints provided but individuals may want to bring their preferred colours )
• multiple laser prints of an image, no bigger than 9 X 11 cm – strong contrast is best (there will be images to choose from so this is not absolutely necessary)
• protective clothing
• lunch
