INTRODUCTION: Lets get gelatin plate monoprinting!
MODULE 1: Tools & Materials – here we look at everything you need to get started. You may already have the essentials. I’ll talk through options and alternatives if you can’t access certain materials. We discuss commercial Gelli® plates and I demonstrate a DIY gel plate recipe, complete with downloadable recipe.
MODULE 2: Plants & Botanicals – lets look at different sorts of botanical materials that work with this process.
MODULE 3: Mindset – the right mindset is important … give yourself permission to play.
MODULE 4: How to Ink and Print – here I demonstrate my gel plate monoprinting approach, watch then follow along with me. Over several lessons I step you through the process, where each lesson builds upon the previous.
MODULE 5: Intentional Sequence #1 – a variation on the process to create the feeling of a fading-into-the-distance mountain range. Then we take the process a step further and get creative with skills learned in the earlier module.
MODULE 6: Intentional Sequence #2 – reflecting back to module 4, we look at how to start to create some intentional results with botanicals, then one approach to adding some embellishment to your prints … just the beginning of so many new possibilities.
BONUS MODULE: What to do with all your new gel print monotype prints – what to do with all the fabulous prints you create? In this Bonus module I share some ideas of what you can do with your prints (beyond collage – we don’t cover collage in this workshop as there are already soooo many fabulous resources online).
BONUS MODULE: Mounting your paper prints to board – I love to present my gel plate monoprints mounted on board. Here I take you through, step-by-step, how I mount my paper prints to board, getting them ready for exhibition and display.
TIPS & RESOURCES: Last but not least, I share added tips and resource links to find more information, ideas, inspiration, supplies and materials to get the most from your online workshop experience.
*’lifetime of the course’ means that as long as I have the workshop published online in my online learning portal, you will able to access it. At this point in time there are no plans to close the course down, so it is anticipated that you will have access to the online content for years to come.

– acrylic paint
– a brayer (aka roller)

I liked all of the [online workshop] demos and seeing the process used to arrive at a finished image. All directions and demos were clear verbally and visually. I really like the Facebook group. It gives a feeling of comradery, which I have fond memories of from art classes in college. Since we can't be together, it's the next best thing. Also, the images are inspirational. I really like the GUIDES you post about what you have done in your studio. These are motivating to continue experimenting.
