Create unique botanical monoprints using a gel plate, inks, brayer, and printmaking paper with this kit and expert-led tutorial.
Explore the art of printmaking as you create one-of-a-kind botanical prints with a gel plate and vivid inks. Join artist Michelle Whitehead as she demonstrates this fascinating craft, creating two prints from each leaf composition: a more saturated image and a second image using the residual ink. “Gel printing is a great way to explore the art of printmaking at home because, unlike many other printmaking methods, it doesn’t require the use of a large printing press,” says Michelle. Throughout the workshop, you’ll learn how to use a gel printing plate, inking brayer, and inking plate to make leaf prints with one or two ink colors.
This workshop includes:
A detailed digital workshop led by Michelle Whitehead of Michelle Lynn Art
A live Maker Chat Q&A where you can join in on creative conversation with the artist and ask questions.
