One week ago, I was just getting started with the 3 day Monothon of Gelatin Printmaking in Austin, TX and hosted by the Women Printmaker’s of Austin.
Just now, I have finally unpacked the suitcase of papers, tools and supplies.
During the monothon, twelve brave artists,
- made gelatin plates,
- did “yoga printmaking”
- made over 500 prints
- tried several different inks and papers
- shared insights and discoveries about gelatin printmaking
- cut strong stencils for masking
- used framing mats for a finished look
- celebrated the time and space just to play and experiment
- learned to layer impressions
- considered several book forms
- learned to use the gelatin plate for it’s malleability whenever transferring a mark
Thank you to the wonderful workshop participants for a such dynamic experience. I always say that the teacher can learn just as much from her students as they do from her. I hope to see some of their work popping up on their own, websites, shops and blogs.
Thanks for sharing, Linda.
I always wanted to learn this process.
Just do it! You will enjoy!
