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.

MODULE 3: Mindset – the right mindset is important … give yourself permission to play.

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).

I absolutely loved the online gel printing workshop. The self-paced format was perfect for me to work through the lessons at my own speed. The videos were easy to follow, and each lesson was thoughtfully designed. Kim provided clear instructions and offered useful techniques that made the process so much fun!
-
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.
-
This is a very satisfying introduction to botanical printing. Kim communicates great enthusiasm and love of the work.
