Join popular artist, Lisa Thoren, in this fun-filled, hands-on workshop learning how to use gelli-plate printmaking as art in itself or to augment your larger ideas.  Gelli plates are easy to use and offer myriad of ways to create designs and patterns.  They’re fun to experiment with and easy to clean.  Lisa often uses them to create interesting backdrops and texture to her artwork.  RAC will provide all the materials and beverages to make this evening a “Must Attend.” Plus, it’s a great way to kick off the weekend!

All participants will be given a complete Gelli Plate printmaking kit that will be theirs to bring home.

Supply list:  RAC will supply all materials
