Gelli Printing for Mixed Media Workshop

Artist Maria Malatesta leads this hands-on workshop in experimental gelli-plate printing. Participants will learn to create unique mixed-media monoprints while exploring a range of techniques, with prints suitable for collage, further painting, or a combination of both.

The workshop is designed as a fun, productive day of making and experimentation, including demonstrations of drawing and painting on the plate, stencil use, reduction printing, layering, and combining shapes.
