Image Transfers with Gelatin Plates

With Hope Amico

  • Posted In: Workshop, Virtual, Beginner, Printing
  • Wednesday, June 18; 5–8pm CT

    Image transfers are a fun way to incorporate found imagery into your prints. Part collage and part print, image transfers offer an opportunity for unexpected results.

    In this single-session virtual workshop, learn the basics of printing with gelatin plates to transfer images through a series of demonstrations and examples. Participants will engage in guided printing practice with opportunities for troubleshooting, questions, and feedback while experimenting. Come away with prints and the know-how to keep making image transfers on your own!

    Level: Beginner. Introductory printmaking experience is helpful but not necessary.
    Certificate: 3 hours, Category B or D
