In this fun class we combine Gelli-printing and linoleum block-printing to create beautiful greeting cards. 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.
This upcoming class meets at The Art Base in Basalt. Other one-day workshops are in the works!

Clay printing is a unique and creative process invented by artist, Mitch Lyons. In a variety of ways, colors, textures, and patterns are applied to a slab of leather-hard clay. Special paper is then placed on top and hand pressed to create a monoprint—meaning each print is one-of-a-kind. The result is a dynamic, beautiful piece of art with rich, organic textures. This technique is perfect for artists of all levels, providing a fun and expressive way to unleash creativity! Pam studied with Mitch Lyons at Haystack School of Crafts in Maine, at The College of Santa Fe, and at the Tucson Artist's Guild. She has taught the process numerous times, including at Naropa University in Boulder, and loves sharing this wonderful technique with others. Learn more about Clay Monoprinting.
More adult classes will be announced soon!
