Discover the Magic of Gelli Plate Printing: A Hands-On Workshop with Edward Martin

Dive into the vibrant and addictive world of Gelli Plate printing in this hands-on, 3-hour workshop! Whether you're a curious beginner or an artist looking to explore a new technique, this class is the perfect place to start.

Join me, Edward Martin, a mixed media artist with over 40 years of experience, as I guide you through the foundations of monoprinting. You will learn how to create stunning, one-of-a-kind prints using Gelli plates, discovering techniques like layering colors, creating ghost prints, using botanicals, and building abstract designs. We'll explore how to use everyday items to produce incredible textures, patterns, and marks.

All supplies are provided! Just bring your curiosity and willingness to play. You will have full use of Gelli plates, brayers (rollers), brushes, texturing tools, assorted papers, and a wide array of paints.
