WORKSHOP: Gel Printing: Beyond the Basics

with Jennifer Love

We are delighted to welcome Jennifer Love back to qathet! Originally from Ottawa, Jennifer lived in Australia for 16 years before returning to Canada's West Coast, where she now resides in Gibsons, BC.

This 2-day workshop is for those who already understand the basics - we will move beyond the fundamentals of gelprinting to resist/transfer printing using magazine pages, patterned wrapping paper, and laser prints of your own drawings or photographs. Combining multiple techniques and layers in a single-pull print. Exploring possibilities for adding extra colour before and after lifting the print, including reverse painting with acrylics, markers or Pan Pastels.

We will push the boundaries of everyday gelprinting by working with charcoal transfers, sprayed water, or modifying your laser print by sanding….the possibilities are endless.

"As an artist and teacher for over 40 years, my journey has involved constant learning and evolution. Although I utilize various tools and techniques in my art, including collage, my passion over the last many years has been monoprinting on a gel plate. Now, I am on a mission to share this fascination with others."
