This is a fun workshop. Learn how to create beautiful paper prints using a soft gel-like "Gelli plate" and acrylic paints rather than a traditional printing press. No experience necessary. With the color and layering techniques you'll learn, you can make fine art prints, greeting cards, papers to use in collage or scrapbooking, gift tags and more! The sky's the limit to your creativity. Have a great time in the workshop and go home with a stack of one-of-a-kind hand-printed papers suitable for framing. If you like playing with color and texture or if you think you don't have a creative bone in your body, this workshop is for you!
