Our Gel Press Art workshops are open to both kids and adults and offer an excellent way to unleash your creativity along with some well deserved rest and relaxation. This particular art style is for those who enjoy printmaking and would like to see their spontaneous creative side come alive. In this house, we move away from complicated and expensive printing presses and work a gel printing plate that enables us to get the same results as we would if we used a commercial printing press. The beauty of the Gel Press style is that no two art prints are ever the same!
What is Gel Press Art?
This form of art is all about printmaking that is unique each time. The surfaces are engineered in a manner to capture as much detail and texture as possible in order to increase creative opportunities. Majority of the plates are mineral based glycerin which gives the plate a flexible surface in order to spread the paints, add as much texture and make innumerable prints. The most fun part of working with Gel Press is using different materials and supplies to get a variety of patterns and designs. There are no rules here and that is what makes this art style so much fun.
What happens in the Gel Press Art Workshop?
In our Gel Press art workshop, kids between the age of 7-14 will start by making Gel Press prints while making their own shapes and stencils. Please note that the duration for this workshop is 6 hours. As they begin to master the tools and the initial movements, they will work towards a mixed media technique which include stamping, stencilling, cutting, doodling, pasting. As part of the final project, they will be creating an Art Journal Book. There will also be an allergy check for their health and safety along with some additional safety information.
For the adults, age 15 and above, they will begin making Gel Press prints as well as create their own shapes and stencils. Please note that the duration for this workshop is 5 hours. As they begin to master the tools and the initial moments, they will work towards creating 10 A4 sized paintings which they will take home. Some of the methodologies they will use are stamping, stencilling, cutting, doodling, pasting and more, while using material found at home and recycled items.
