Monoprinting with Gelatin Plates

Using GELATIN PLATES WE’ll explore the process of mono printing, a method of printmaking where no two prints will pull the same. We'll explore a variety of methods to create images that emphasize texture, composition, and layering.This process lends itself to bookmaking, collage, and much more paper based art! We will provide pre-made GELATIN PLATES AND REQUEST YOU BRING: - Variety of paper (different textures will be more fun to play with!) - Flat found objects (plants, strings, paper cut outs, clementine bags, anything textured/flat will work) - Acrylic paint - Brayer (we have two but if you have one bring it!) - Newspaper - A snack! Although neither are from LOS ANGELES originally, Anshika and Kathleen found one another here and have since been brought together by a mutual love of plants, art, and everything in between. Guided by a desire to make the most out of the life they have been given and to share that with others, both enjoy capturing ghosts and making them little hats in case the ghosts’ unfulfilled desire is to own a very small hat. They are just trying to take it one day at a time. Contact the teachers: anshikavlal@gmail.com & kmscheppe@gmail.com Class is in Westwood. Instructor will email registered students with location info.
