Create beautiful layered prints without a press. You’ll learn how to mix, pour, and create your own food-grade gelatin plate, which can be used for the entirety of the course. Inspired by Jasper Johns, Tracy Emin, and Delita Martin, we'll focus on using stencils, stamping, drawing, and layering inks and textures.

You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique!
