First Friday: Gel Plate Printing with Sato Yamamoto

Join us at Poster House for a gel-plate printing workshop in which participants will explore the medium through a range of accessible techniques. The session will cover foundational methods using printing ink on paper as well as ways of working with acrylic ink on wet surfaces to build layered compositions. Participants will create textures and patterns using a range of found materials and mark-making tools.

 All materials will be provided. No experience is necessary.
