Gel Plate Monoprints on Washi using Custom Stencils & Masks

Custom stencils (and masks) are a great way to personalize and energize your work, and they don't have be complicated to be effective — they can be either quite simple or as intricate as you wish to make them!

Have all the creative fun and effects you get with store-bought stencils, by devising and using (and re-using) your own as part of your process!

In this one-day workshop we will work with different creative approaches to making our stencils and masks, followed by printing onto a selection of beautiful washi papers. We’ll also touch on materials and organization for your stencils as well as composing with them.

All washi, paint, most tools, and other supplies will be supplied by The Japanese Paper Place and the instructor.

• at least one gel printing plate (5 x 7" or larger)Gelli-Plate brand recommended
• a notebook and pen
• an apron, or dress to get messy
• gloves (optional)
• baby wipes
• a spray bottle for water
• a piece of plexiglass slightly larger than your plate (optional)
• If you have your own brayer and/or baren, please bring them.

Please make sure you clearly mark you possessions with your name
