Join us for a dynamic, interactive 3-hour class making botanical paper prints from gelatin plates, aka "Gelli" plates.

This non-toxic form of printmaking utilizes color and texture to create one of a kind (mono)prints. We will print a variety of plants & flowers, while exploring composition development with the use of layering techniques. Gelli printing offers instant access to a form of playful self-expression that helps to develop free associative thinking in a fun and supportive environment.

This unique set of classes will provide an overview of the role of color in any visual medium, while using various printmaking methods as a practical and expressive means for exploration. Students will gain an understanding of how we see, perceive, interpret and manipulate color as artists.

Note: Color Theory is a set of 2 classes, each 4 weeks long. Each class can be taken independently and in any order.

"Color Theory: Explorations" will be an introduction to color theory and concepts, including looking at example images, discussion, and various hands-on exercises that cover the fundamentals of color theory. Participants will walk away with their exercises as reference to guide their own work.

"Color Theory: Reduction Print" will put theory into practice! Each participant will create a 4 color reduction print edition that will ultimately become a print exchange for all class members. Each participant will end up with one print from their own edition, and a print from each of the other class members.

This class is: Color Theory: Explorations

Ages: 16+
