TEACHING

Upcoming Workshops

I will be teaching the following workshops at the Eliot School in Jamaica Plain in 2025. Sign up below to receive additional information about these workshops.

Ten Cool Techniques for Gelliprinting

This workshop will focus on ten interesting techniques for using the gelliplate. It will include some basic concepts related to gelliprinting and discuss different types of paint and paper. Students will then try out these techniques on their own, using most of the rest of the workshop to perfect these techniques and make multiple prints using the methods they enjoy the most. We'll also discuss ways that gelliprints can be used and show some examples of things made with gelliprints, including  collages, artists’ books, and coasters.

Gelliprinting with Botanicals

This workshop will teach the basics of gelliprinting using botanicals (plants, weeds and flowers). It will talk about the different kinds of paints that are used in printing, colors and color mixing, and the paint characteristics that allow for layering, an important concept for gelliprinting printing.

Students will learn about main and ghost prints, the use of a brayer, characteristics of acrylic paint, and the kinds of papers that can be used for gelliprinting. The workshop will also discuss different ways that botanical gelliprints can be used.
