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.
