This workshop will teach the basics of gelliprinting using botanicals (plants, weeds, and flowers). Join us to learn several different ways to make botanical prints. We will talk about the different kinds of paints that are used in printing, colors and color mixing, and the paint characteristics that allow for layering, an important concept for gelliprinting printing.


At the end of the workshop, students will have learned basic information about gelliprinting including the concepts of main and ghost prints, the use of a brayer, characteristics of acrylic paint, and how to make botanical prints. We will also talk about the different kinds of paper that can be used for gelliprinting and discuss different ways that these prints can be used.


Students will begin the workshop by gathering plants and weeds in the vicinity of the Eliot School. From there, Diane will demonstrate basic concepts, and talk about color and paper and layering. In the afternoon, we will make many gelliprints using the materials they gathered in the morning and the information learned in the first part of the workshop.
