The Loft - Teen Center

Explore printmaking with squishy reusable gel plates! Katelyn will walk you through the steps to create unique prints on paper using paints and textures.

Jump into the colorful practice of printmaking with gelli plates! Katelyn will show you how versatile and fun gelli printing can be.

These reusable gelatin-like surfaces can be covered in a thin coat of paint, then textures or images can be places or drawn on top of the plate surface before pressing it onto paper to reveal your creation. It can even pick up ink from a magazine, newspaper, or drawing and transfer its image to paper. 

No experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided.

Only 10 seats are available- email Jenna at jjones@nlrlibrary.org to register.
