January 28, 2020 - Gelli printing -Marilyn D-R
Let's try something new, Printing you own fabric with Gelli Plates. Artists have used gelatin for years to print onto paper or fabric. The gelatin does not last long in the frig. With today's technology, permanent plates are made with synthetic materials that will last. They are made in different sizes and shapes. You will learn several ways to make designs for printing from the plate. And the fun part, if you do not like the first design, you can print over and make another. Since there are a number of items needed for this process fee for this class is $10.00, however, if you bring your own plate and paint will reduce to $8.00 You will be provided with roll off paper, stencil, masks and shapes to make marks. More information will be given at business meeting. Things to bring, an apron or old shirt, old towel to clean hands (i do have some to use) and fabric you want to paint onto. Please wash fabric before class to remove sizing as it interferes with paint adhering to fabric.
THINGS TO BRING: Items to make marks with, such as bubble wrap, both large and small dots Stamps Stencils Bottle caps of different sizes and shapes Cardboard tubes of any size Styrofoam, like cleaned meat trays String Rubber scrappers/rubber brushes Paint, acrylic Fabric that has been washed Apron or old shirt you do not mind getting paint onto! Dishpans to put stencils into between uses Snack as we will probably go longer for this class you can take a look at the process here: gelliarts.com |
