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, Acrylic Photo Transfers using your Homemade Gelli Plate, and Relief Printing using a Linoleum Block. We will go over creating prints from the combination of techniques by layering the covered processes. Drawing into your prints using colored pencils and watercolors will also be encouraged. This is a great class to help you set up your home or personal studio for printmaking without a press.
