Adult Printmaking Classes
Pam has combined two of her favorite printmaking techniques together: Gelli Printing & Lino Printing. She calls this fun, rewarding method: Gelli-Block Printing. Learn more about the process and see more images of these colorful prints here.
Students spend the morning creating a number of "Gelli Prints" and carving their designs into linoleum blocks. After lunch students finish their prep work and then print their 4 x 6" linoleum blocks onto their gelli prints. Once prints are dry, students glue them onto blank cards, creating their own beautiful greeting cards.

1-Day Gelli-Block Printing Classes
In these fun one-day workshops we create beautiful greeting cards by combining Gelli-printing and linoleum block printing.
First, we roll paint onto a gelatin or “Gelli-plate”. Then using a variety of methods, we create patterns on the plate and then press paper on top so that the image is transferred. These are our Gelli-prints. Then we carve designs into linoleum blocks, roll on black ink and press the blocks onto our Gelli-prints. When these beautiful Gelli-block prints are dry we glue them onto blank cards to create finished cards. Get ready for a fun, colorful process with bold results!
