Thursday | August 13, 2026 | 10:00 am-2:00 pm | all levels (adults) | $140 (supplies included) | gel plate monotype | Falls Church Arts Gallery

Explore the delight of building gel plate monotypes with transparent color. Using printmaking paper and Golden Open Acrylics, you’ll learn how to create rich, layered images through both additive marks (painting and drawing directly on the plate) and reductive techniques (wiping, lifting, and masking from an inked plate). We’ll also cover basic registration for printing multiple layers in alignment.
