Join Lisa Carlson to make frame-worthy botanical gel prints to gift or keep. Try four different types of gel printing — masking, found object, painted pull, and mixed media — inspired by OMAM's gardens. Lisa will guide you as you build on your printmaking skills during this four week course. You'll get to try all the equipment and media before you buy; gel plate, acrylic paints, papers, masks and stencils, found objects, gel pens, pastels, and so much more

Take inspiration for your prints from fall-inspired botanical examples or the botanicals of your choice. Lisa will provide step-by-step instructions, multiple examples, and a link to a helpful digital guide. Beginners and seasoned creatives welcome!

Students are responsible for the following supplies:

  • Smock
  • Pack of baby wipes
  • Bottle of hand sanitizer
  • Large package of copy paper (multi-color or white; can purchase the second week of class, if desired.)

Registration closes Monday, 10/13.
