Morning Program
Demo:
Gelli Printing Without Tears
Did you
know that filter paper is great for printing? What does baby oil have to do
with the gel plate? Cindy Boney will answer those questions and more! She will
demonstrate how you can use your calligraphy practice sheets without smearing,
along with a variety of step-by-step techniques for printing, tips for gel
plate care, which papers work well with the plate, and even making your own
impression plates with supplies you probably already have!
Supplies are not
needed for the morning program, but if you plan to stay for the afternoon
workshop, you will be able to use what was demonstrated during the program to
create your own prints and materials for making your own tools!
Afternoon Workshop:
Time to gelli print!
($25 fee)
In this afternoon workshop,
Cindy will be on hand to assist members while they create their own gel prints,
make a variety of impression plates, and model ways to incorporate calligraphy
in collages. She will have handouts, a packet of various papers for each
participant to experiment with, and loads of supplies to make your own masks
and impression plates. If you want to make a collage, bring either mat gel
medium, Mod Podge, or UHU glue stick as well as an old brush or palette knife
to help with gluing. And…bring your calligraphy practice sheets. Cindy will
have the materials on hand to keep your calligraphy from smearing. By the end
of the workshop, you will have new ways, and materials, to help you create
beautiful papers! Sign up at the morning meeting with Suzi Ickles.
