This online class utilizes some of the materials you already have in your kitchen to print without a press. We will be covering Monotype using a Homemade Gelli Plate, Relief printing using a Linoleum Block, and Drypoint using a Plexi Plate. We will go over creating prints from the combination of techniques by layering the covered processes. We will create prints using a 5” x 7” plate size. Drawing into your prints using colored pencils and watercolors will also be encouraged.
