What are we going to do?

• We are going to play.

• We are going to do some mark making.

• We are going to play with “monoprinting” using a Gelli plate

• We are going to make decorated pages using layers 

• We are going to enjoy the art-play-process and we are going to hopefully walk out of the session with a little pile of art-cards (greeting cards) or tags or just papers for future use for you to have on hand 

Here is a link to a video you can watch to see what “Gelli printing” looks like. This is very similar to one of the things we will be doing!

Supplies:

• Leaves from your front yard : ) (small and large)

• Papers – calligraphy practice sheets, old art that “still needs something” – music sheets, scrap book paper – plain card stock – mix it up and bring a little pile of papers that you’re willing to experiment with – anything – or nothing I’ll have a lot – so much.  So no worries if you don’t have a stack of papers.

• A Gelli Plate and brayer if you have – I have quite a few so if you don’t have a plate or brayer please let me know before class so I can bring enough for you to use for the day.

• Only if you have - Acrylic paints – whatever you have we can work with 

• White and gold gel pens or ink for embellishing 

• Bring the mixed media supplies you have and always say you want to play with but never do – it’s time to play! (if you don’t have any, first, I’m shocked lol! And second – I have *many* and am very very happy to share my toys – so no worries

• oil pastels or pan pastels? Bring some.

• acrylic paint pens? Bring them. 

• Various sizes of Nibs/inks for mark making – big and small – automatic pens, parallel pens and cola pens too!
