  Gelli Plate Printmaking 

  taught by Kathy Klompas

  Class Location: CREATE Community Studios, 70B Beekman St, Saratoga Springs, NY

  An introduction into the wonderful process of gelli plate printmaking, perfect for creating unique prints at home as it doesn't require a printing press! We will use textures, stencils, and ink to create unique, layered prints on paper. Learn to mix colors with non-toxic Akua Inks, the inks don't dry quickly so you can work slowly, creating delicate monoprints. Resulting prints can be collaged, drawn on top of, or displayed as is! Fun class for all levels.

  This class is able to be taken again to gain a new found understanding of the process each time.

  Layered Monotype

  taught by Ally DeRusso

  Location: CREATE Community Studios, 70B Beekman St, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866

  Monotype is a printmaking process that creates one unique print. It allows for improvisation and painterly effects. Using a 9 x 12 inch sheet of plexiglass, we will apply ink and transfer it to paper through pressure using a printing press. In this class, we will play with different mark-making techniques, stencil, and trace monotype methods! We will go over transparency and layering, experimenting with color shifts and overlaps through multiple impressions. 

  All materials are included. However, students are encouraged to bring flat objects like strings, leaves, fabric, etc. that can be run through the press. 

  Beginner printmakers are welcome! This class can be repeatedly taken, allowing you to have a newfound understanding of the process each time!
