Feather Impressions: Gel Printing & Beyond
This is a self-paced online mixed media course where you’ll discover how to transform your gel prints into a richly layered, expressive work of art.
Inspired by nature, you’ll explore playful gel printing techniques using feathers to create a collection of unique papers. You’ll then learn how to bring these papers together through collage, exploring composition, colour, layering and texture to create a cohesive finished piece.
The final stage introduces “drawing with stitch”, using machine stitch to add detail, texture and another layer of expression to your artwork.
This course is all about experimentation, creativity and discovering the possibilities in the prints you make. Whether you’re new to mixed media or an experienced gel printer, you’ll be encouraged to play, explore and trust your creative instincts.
By the end, you’ll create your own mixed-media artwork combining gel print, collage and stitch and discover new ways to take your gel printing beyond the print.
