Ever been curious about printmaking but thought you needed a giant, complicated press? Think again! Join the wonderful Susan Grinels for a playful exploration of monoprinting using the magical Gelli plate. This accessible technique is all about color, texture, and the joy of surprise. We’ll spend three Tuesday afternoons layering brilliant acrylic paints, pressing paper by hand, and revealing stunning, one-of-a-kind prints.
