TWO-PART ONLINE WORKSHOP
​The Magic of ​Gel Plate Image Transfers

Feb 19th & 26th, 2025, 1:00-4:00 on Zoom
Cost: Quest Art Members $75, Non members $95

JUST ONE SPOT REMAINING!
In this two-afternoon workshop we will dive deeper into gel plate transfer methods than the average YouTube video, as well as creative ways of working with them so the final images become truly your own (even if you sourced your images elsewhere).. 

Image transfers are a popular topic and no wonder, they make an exciting addition to gel plate printmaking and mixed media art. They can add a contemporary edge (or a nostalgic vintage one) to your artwork.

As time allows, we will cover different source material and add in a couple of processes that may surprise you.
​
Some experience with gel plate would be helpful for this workshop.

Image shown above is a multi-layer back-painted print that started with an image transfer I modified.

​​How to Make a DIY Registration (Alignment) Fixture for Gel Plates
FREE (but you must register!) 

​Printing multiple layers in sequence and keeping those layers aligned can be a challenge when gel plate printing. There are a variety of methods that can help you approximate it, and there are also tools you can buy.

How about making your own tool that keeps everything aligned for as many impressions as you want?

On Jan. 31 I held a livestream on how to make a DIY registration fixture for just that purpose. It uses inexpensive materials you probably already have in your home.​

​The image shown above was printed using one of these tools, with five separate impressions (one per colour).
