Print Social: October (Geli Plate Printing)

October 23 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm 

$50.00

We bring the ink, you bring the drink. Grab your friends, your lover, your significant other and head over to the Waterfall Arts Print Studio. Each month we’ll teach you a new simple printmaking technique. Open to all experience levels – beginners welcome! Bring some friends or join on your own – you’ll meet fellow art-lovers during this creative night on the town. BYOB

This month Abbie Read will show you how to use acrylic paints and geli plates to make monotypes that build an unusual and often surprising textural and colorful surface. Printed/painted papers can then be used in a number of ways: as stand alone paintings, decorative paper for book arts, collage, cards and other applications.

Materials will be supplied. Bring any soft, flat, textural things like fabric, lace, stencils you may have on hand for layering patterns and shapes.
