Teaching Artist: Leigh Ferello

Discover the joy of gelli plate printing in this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop. Gelli printing is a playful, experimental form of printmaking that requires no prior experience and produces beautiful, one-of-a-kind prints.

Participants will explore layering, texture, and mark-making using stencils, stamps, and found objects. You’ll learn techniques such as sgraffito, stamping and impressions, masking, and building layered prints, all while embracing the unexpected and letting go of perfection.

This workshop is designed for beginners, and focuses on creative exploration rather than technical mastery. We will work on 5x3" plates to allow for better control of the medium, more experimentation, and more prints! Participants will leave with a collection of mini prints and the confidence to continue experimenting on their own.

A $10 material fee is due to instructor upon arrival, and please bring a package of baby wipes.
