Printmaking Classes

Gell Print Making Class (Adult)

(SOLD OUT)

WHERE: Sanchez Art Center, Pacifica

WHEN: Saturday, June 25th 9:00 AM -1:00 PM

The gel plate process uses a rubbery base to create mono-prints. We will experiment with a variety of textures and colors to create our unique pieces. This is a great way to produce finished prints or build a wealth of papers for collage. Be careful, once you start it's hard to stop! We will begin with design layout, tools, inks and papers. Students will explore printing, layering and embellishments. This class will cover mounting and sealing tips to finish.
