Class Description
In this workshop, students ages 8 and up will explore Gelli Plate printmaking using acrylic paints on mixed-media paper using plants for texture and design. This fun and accessible technique allows for creative experimentation with layering colors to produce unique, one-of-a-kind prints. Parents are encouraged to take the class, you are also welcome to watch.
Join us for a creative and festive experience—you’ll take home your own beautiful artwork, with no two prints alike!
