Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring the exciting world of gelli plate printing! This versatile technique allows you to create stunning, one-of-a-kind prints using a gelatin plate and acrylic paint.
In this workshop, you will master the basics of gelli plate printing and explore various techniques to create unique textures and patterns using stencils, plant life, and drawing. You will see how one print can inspire the next, allowing you to create a series of original prints. By the end of the workshop, you will have created a collection of artwork to bring home.
This workshop is limited to 8 participants.

Wednesdays, 6 pm - 9 pm
September 10 - November 12
Learn the basics or get a refresher on intaglio printing. Starting with dry-point, learn how to physically make incised marks and textures on a plate, that will hold ink for printing. After learning the fundamentals of inking, wiping, and printing an intaglio plate, you will learn various approaches to etching lines, tones, and textures into a copper plate. You will have the opportunity to experiment, rework your plate, and combine different techniques to create an editionable print.
Class enrollment includes weekend studio access to work on class projects during posted Open Hours.
Participants are responsible for providing copper plates, newsprint, and printing paper. Copper plates and select paper will be available for sale onsite. Other materials will be provided.
Instructor: Louis Meola
Saturday, October 4 & Sunday, October 5
10 am - 4 pm
This workshop invites participants to explore the challenge of matrix/plate transformation through a hands-on survey of etching techniques and experimentation with a wide range of etching tools. Participants will be guided through the concept of visual metamorphosis, achieved by radically altering a copper plate. These transformations may include acts of removal—such as sanding, scraping, and open biting—as well as the introduction of new visual elements like line, texture, and tonal value.
Each participant will execute up to six significant alterations to their plate, printing each distinct state using fundamental printing methods and working with monochromatic and two-color palettes.
At the heart of this process is the idea that radical transformation is a form of visual liberation—a new beginning that still carries traces of past expression. This workshop encourages a commitment to reworking the plates as a path to generating new impressions.
This workshop is limited to 6 participants.
Instructor: Catarina Coelho
