Whether you are new to a gel plate or need a refresher class, this class will provide you with the basics and beyond. The instructor will provide you with everything you need to explore the art of gel printing. Gel printing is an art form that creates one-of-a-kind prints. Under the guidance of the instructor, you will create printed papers using the provided paint, paper, stencils and masks. Using your favorite paper from your printing session, you will leave the class with a small journal covered with this paper.
