Easy printmaking at home! Gelatin (or agar) Print-Making (3-class workshop)
From 59.99 C$ /h
This class is for those interested in getting started in printmaking from their home!
Gelatin printing is a very fun, easy, non-toxic method to create beautiful and unique images. Gelatin is the traditional material for this method, but can be vegan using agar instead (you can state your preference).
A plate of gelatin is created which becomes the surface to hold the ink. Different objects, fabrics, utensils, shapes can be used to create patterns and images in the print.
This class can be done in a set of 3 1 hour classes (preferably 3 days in a row), but the class timing can be adapted and can be extended depending on the desire..
In the first class you will learn how to make the gelatin plate and care for it, and start to learn about different techniques.
The second class you will begin to print. You will learn how to use the gelatin plate and ink and will try a few different techniques and surfaces to print on.
In the third class you will learn some more advanced techniques and applications for the gelatin printing.
After this you'll be an expert and can print at home whenever you want!
For children, this class will need to be done in person, or if doing an online class will need the help of an adult to make the gelatin plate.

About Me
I am an artist living and working in the Netherlands. In my current art practice, I focus on artistic research, writing, video, collaborative work and installation.
I enjoy teaching and sharing skills with people who are interested in art at any level. I love to teach foundation skills as well as skills in navigating applications for art programs and portfolio building since I know this can be challenging.
I am also open to teaching classes that focus more closely on a specific type of drawing, or sculpture. Please feel free to send me a message if you are interested in something in particular.
