Botanical Impressions: Gelli Plate Printing with Nature

$65 per person – All materials will be provided for use in this class. Beginner class
limited to 6 participants

In this fun, creative, beginner-friendly class we will be creating
beautiful botanical prints using Gelli plates! You’ll learn how to
capture the delicate details, textures, and natural shapes of
leaves, flowers, and other plant materials through the magic of
Gelli plate printing.

We’ll explore different techniques for arranging botanicals,
layering colors, and creating unique one-of-a-kind prints.
These stunning papers are perfect for art journals, collage,
mixed-media projects, greeting cards, framed art, and so much
more. Botanical printing on Gelli plates is a wonderful way to
bring the beauty of nature into your artwork while building a
collection of decorative papers for future projects.

This shorter, focused class will
include step-by-step demonstration, plenty of guided
practice, and hands-on time for you to create several
beautiful botanical prints to take home. All materials (Gelli
plates, brayers, paints, papers, and a selection of fresh
botanicals) will be available for use during this class.
Space is limited to just 6 participants for a more personal
and supportive experience. Come ready to play and get
inspired by nature!
