| © linda germain – It is all about the process – gelatin printmaking |
Saturday – The fun real begins. We will have all day and into the night if desired to play with the possibilities of gelatin monotype printmaking. The day will include, warm ups, demonstrations, free time, 100 or more tricks and tips, experimentation with inks and papers, play with tools and masking stencils. There will be time to share and learn from each other. We will be guided by the idea that:
Sunday – Pull together, crop, complete, collage or otherwise finish several pieces of work. Each artist will have developed her/ his own language with the materials and will have found a certain set of tools, skills and marks that resonate. Some may continue to explore the possibilities, some may develop a series of unified prints, some may work up a collage, some may shape prints into a book.
Sunday evening – celebrate with a gelatin print monotype exhibit, sale, and auction to benefit the artists and Women Printmakers of Austin.
- Enjoy the benefits of a group lessons in specific gelatin printmaking ticks and techniques followed by specific one on one assistance if desired.
- Absorb all benefits and wisdom of Ms. Germain’s 5 years of gelatin printmaking experimentation, and exploration in just 3 days.
- Gain confidence in your printmaking skills that allows you to develop your own unique expression with the material.
- Take part in demonstrations, constructive critiques, and conclude the weekend with an art show/auction that celebrates your success.
