Using a gel plate is a fun and easy way to create one-of-a-kind prints that can be beautiful collage papers or stand on their own. Participants will learn how to pull prints with different papers and paints and by using found objects, stamps, stencils, and natural elements. Participants will create multiple prints during the workshop.
