Gel Printing with Botanicals with Clare Winslow

Create beautiful, one-of-a-kind prints using leaves and grasses straight from the garden! In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn how to use a gelatin plate and acrylic paints to make layered botanical prints that are stunning enough to frame or give as gifts. No art experience necessary — this is an accessible, joyful process that yields surprisingly elegant results. We’ll cover the basics of inking the plate, placing botanicals, and pulling prints, with plenty of time to experiment with color and composition.
