Gel Plate Painting Workshop: Everything you need to know & much more!

Join this trio of experienced artists and learn to make beautiful one-of-a-kind collage papers using acrylic paints and a gel plate. Janis and Lorie will walk the class through a very fun and easy process of gel painting and printing.

Then Lizzie will demonstrate how to make a simple book decorated with your prints and how to embellish them with mark making and collage elements.
