Mary Preble Workshop: Funky Florals with Gelli Plate
Saturday, September 20th from 10am-3pm
The Kittery Art Association Art Hub (Lower Level Studio Space)
Spend time with artist and children’s book illustrator, Mary Preble, as you learn the amazing art of Gelli Plate Printing. This is a fun, easy, no-mistake way of creating beautiful papers that can then be collaged in an 8×8″ Funky Floral piece of artwork. Our four hour class will begin with learning to layer paint and fun textures to create one of a kind painted paper that we will then collage to create a Funky Floral piece of artwork.
If you have always wanted to create but are afraid to even start – or want to add a new repertoire to your art journey – this is the class for you.
