Back in the Studio – ready for Gelatin Printing

 

© 2013 linda germain – “it’s all a blur”

One week ago, I was just getting started with the 3 day Monothon of Gelatin Printmaking in Austin, TX and hosted by the Women Printmaker’s of Austin.

Just now, I have finally unpacked the suitcase of papers, tools and supplies.

During the monothon, twelve brave artists,

  • made gelatin plates,
  • did “yoga printmaking”
  • made over 500 prints
  • tried several different inks and papers
  • shared insights and discoveries about gelatin printmaking
  • cut strong stencils for masking
  • used framing mats for a finished look
  • celebrated the time and space just to play and experiment
  • learned to layer impressions
  • considered several book forms
  • learned to use the gelatin plate for it’s malleability whenever transferring a mark
Thank you to the wonderful workshop participants for a such dynamic experience.  I always say that the teacher can learn just as much from her students as they do from her.  I hope to see some of their work popping up on their own, websites, shops and blogs.
