Gel Plate Printmaking is a 4-day workshop taught by Jeff Hirst: April 3-6, 2025.
The course will focus on layering imagery through multiple printings on the same image. Simple registration systems that allow artists to move freely between acrylic paint and R & F Handmade Paints will be covered in the class. While much technique will be covered, the emphasis is on making compelling images that expand each participant’s personal vision. The class will include prompts, and some transfer processes will be covered.
Please Note: Akua inks and R&F paint sticks will be provided
