Gel Plate Printing & Collage Workshop: Inspired by the Art of Henri Matisse

October 12, 2026 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Washington Printmakers Gallery (1675 Wisconsin Ave NW)

In this workshop, Jennifer Wilkin Penick will lead participants through two accessible and engaging projects — both inspired by the colorful art of Henri Matisse. In one project, participants will create hand-cut stencils and use them to make layered monoprints, and in the second, they will create colorful collages. Participants will leave with a series of colorful and unique monoprints and collages, with their favorite work matted and ready to frame.

This single-session workshop will familiarize participants with gel plate printing techniques, designing and cutting stencils, and abstract collage.
