ABOUT THIS EVENT:
Discover how printed marks can become a book. In this class, we’ll create gelli prints on plain paper and calligraphy practice sheets, embracing the unexpected beauty of layered textures and imperfect impressions. We’ll then fold our prints into a Turkish map fold mini book, turning our artwork into a portable, interactive form. This class is ideal for artists, calligraphers, and anyone who enjoys tactile, process-driven creativity. Class is great for all experience levels.
If you want to participate in the in-person component but don't have a gelli plate, please email Cindy at newsletter.iesfc@gmail.com. She may be able to help you!
Suitable for beginners and above. Zoom link will be provided a week in advance. Session will be recorded and available for three months.
