Saturday, May 9, 2026 | 12:00 - 3:00pm

Join Lisa Carlson to make a series of botanical painted prints to gift or keep in this one-day workshop. Using images from the OMAM gardens, applying color theory and using the gel plate, Lisa will guide you as you learn gel printing skills for painted prints of botanicals. You'll get to try all the equipment and mediums before you invest; acrylic paints, papers, & the gel plate. Lisa will provide step-by-step instructions, multiple examples, and a link to a helpful digital guide.

Beginners and seasoned creatives are welcome! Students are responsible for bringing their own smock, and all other materials are provided.
