Some of the class projects:
Goals of this class:
- Learning about a wide range of printing techniques
- Practicing with storytelling and illustration
- Finding out which printing techniques excite you the most
- Enjoying experimenting and risk taking in your search for interesting prints
- Taking your gelliplate skills to the next level
- Having lots of fun!
Supply list:
- Rice paper and deli paper (I also use tissue paper and several high quality printing papers but those are totally optional)
- a plexiglass plates that is slightly smaller than the paper you will be working on (you’ll need two if you also want to do the dentitric printing)
- Gelliplate
- Block print ink in black (and one other colour that you like to work with).
- A brayer
- rubber carving blocks and carving tool for stamping
- crafting foam
- linoleum
- an ink pad
- Open Acrylics by Golden (you can substitute by adding retarder to your regular acrylics)
- Acrylics
- (Gel) Matte Medium as an adhesive
We will also use some things you will probably have lying around the house. Like baby wipes, Q-tips, lace, string, cardboard, book pages, leaves and flowers.
There are 26 lessons and even more projects. I show you the whole process. When a print “fails”, I will take you with me on my trouble shooting journey.
Because it is such a big class, I have devided the lessons in 4 chapters:
- The first chapter on stamping and linocutting
- The second chapter on gelli printing
- The third chapter on printing on plexiglass
- The fourth chapter with bonus lessons
You’ll have lifetime access and all the lessons in this class are downloadable.
If you have any more questions about the class, please let me know!
