About

Create several of your own folded-paper ornaments or decorations using paper you print yourself! In this one-day workshop, you'll learn how to use a Gelli plate to print acrylic ink onto paper using stencils, paintbrushes, rollers, and other materials. Gelli plates, by Gelli Arts, are reusable plates made from a non-toxic, synthetic gelatin that let you create multicolor monoprints without a press, making this an ideal form of printmaking to pursue at home. Your prints will be made using acrylic paints, which dry quickly, allowing you to add multiple layers to produce fun, multicolor images. 

The resulting prints will be transformed into decorative ornaments using paper-folding techniques.

Details

Experience level: None required! This is a beginner workshop.

Dana Seeger

Dana Harris Seeger was born in San Francisco and split her childhood between California and Indiana. She pursued her passion in high school and college and received a bachelor's degree in painting from Anderson University in Indiana in 2004 and a master's in fine arts in printmaking from San Jose State University in 2011. She is a member of the California Society of Printmakers. In 2014, Dana co-created an art studio and school in San Jose, Calif., called the School of Visual Philosophy. Her work in printmaking and painting helps her connect real to imagined memories and her life experiences to her heritage. Growing up as a second-generation Baltic American, she has always tried to connect the artifacts acquired from Estonia and Latvia into her own story. She lives in Poulsbo with her husband (a sculptor), daughter, and twin sons.
