Gelli Plate Printing and Handmade Cards

Join me for a fun afternoon of art making as we explore using the Gelli Plate to create handmade greeting cards. We will create luscious printed papers for the first two hours and then spend the last hour turning them into fun collaged cards. This is a laid back workshop that is really more of a mixed media play date.
