Create collaged birds using gel printed paper in this fun class that combines printmaking and collage. Using a gel plate, acrylic paints, adhesive, papers and scissors, we'll create beautiful and original artwork. Each bird is made from handmade prints, then collaged to form a striking image.

This class includes printmaking techniques and collage techniques that when combined, form beautiful images. Vary the colors according to what you like, and watch as the fun patterns from the printmaking come alive to form intriguing textures and variations in each part of our finished images.

I’ll demonstrated printing techniques on standard copy paper, Deli paper, and tissues paper. The copy paper is the most durable, followed by the Deli paper, and then the delicate tissue paper. I've included tips on working with tissue paper, as well as a Gel Print Fails class, to help you avoid the pitfalls.

Included is a Gel Print Download if you'd like to get started on the Collage portion of the class.
