Gelatin Printmaking is a form of monoprinting, meaning that each print pulled from the gelatin plate is unique. This technique is fun and easy, with an emphasis on creative experimentation rather than the final outcome. You will use brayers and brushes to ink the plate, along with stencils, stamps, and other mark making devices to create patterns. The you transfer your design to paper.
Bring a lunch and wear old clothes – things can get messy!
