Explore the creative possibilities with gel plates, including building layers, monoprinting, image transfers, using stencils and masks, alcohol inks, imprints and stamps, organic mark making, building compositions, and trying different sizes of plates. You will leave with a solid foundation to build upon with gel plates in various media, and a nice pile of monoprints, collage papers, image transfers, and layered beginnings of paintings…. maybe even a masterpiece!
