Explore Nature-Inspired Printmaking with Color & Texture Join us for a playful and creative workshop to explore the magic of gelli plate printing using real leaves, flowers, and other natural elements. Learn to use gel printing plates, acrylic paint, and a variety of botanical textures to create beautiful layered monoprints. Basic printing techniques, how to arrange natural materials for the best impressions, and ways to build up depth with multiple layers will be covered. No experience necessary. Bring your curiosity and a willingness to experiment and leave with a stack of unique botanical prints perfect for framing, card-making, or using in your own mixed media projects. Karalyn Thayer has a BFA from the ME College of Art with a background in teaching web and graphic design. She creates her art with the use of mixed-media illustrations and loves experimenting with at-home printmaking.
