gelli plate printing

Thursday, July 25th | 6 PM | Our Lady of the Snows | $5 | Sign-up Required

Delve into the world of gelli plate printing with local artist Shelby Pence of Shelby Artifacts! In this workshop, Shelby will teach you the process of monotype printmaking using gelli plates, acrylic paint & other found materials! You'll learn about texture, color, stencils, and layering, then get the chance to experiment and create one-of-a-kind prints to hang in your house, cut up for a collage, bind into a journal, or gift to a loved one!

Shelby likes to create a range of original artworks specializing in printmaking that range from block prints to gelli prints focusing on the elements and principles of design. She also enjoys hand-crafting projects such as handmade paper, journals, or collage kits. Shelby uses recycled materials for an extensive array of projects in an effort to lessen the amount of waste in the world. As a teacher of three years, she works to find the balance between instructor guidance and emphasizing individual creative freedom.
