The first part of the course will be focused on collage. You will learn pasting and cutting techniques, how to use resources and the fundamentals of design.
The second part of the course is focused on learning basic Gelli printing techniques and incorporating these with collage to make mixed media artwork. You will gain knowledge of the use of materials including Gelli plates, brayers, papers, paints, templates and mediums.
