Presented by Kristi Darwick
Sponsored by your Inland Empire/Pomona Valley Chapter
IN-PERSON EVENT : SATURDAY, AUG 19, 2023 11:00am-2:00pm. Please arrive by 10:30 to make sure you are setup and ready to promptly at 11.
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM: Can you picture these circles printed in place on paper or fabric, or printed, then cut-out and glued onto a card front or into a collage? We've studied calligraphy in circles and these can be a great shape to write around. The 3" Gelli-plate is perfect for 5x7 greeting cards. This will be an enjoyable session--a chance to get messy with your fellow art and lettering enthusiasts. All levels are welcome.
We will provide the round Gelli Plates (3" diameter), as well as Printers' Ink, and a few other supplies. (Scroll down for the supply list.)
Attendees will take home a mini-Gelli-plate. (We cannot mail them to those who don't attend in-person.)
We have donated items that we'll be giving away. We'll raffle off some.

SUPPLY LIST
We will supply:
- 3” round Gelli Plates (feel free to also bring your own Gelli-Plates of different shapes and sizes. Small sizes are especially nice for gaining quick results.)
- Deli paper, rice paper, copier paper
- Printers' inks
- Assorted acrylic paints and inks (You may wish to bring any of your favorite colors)
- Stencils, texture plates, and other materials for masking.
Participants will bring:
- A table cover--a plastic dollar-store rectangular tablecloth or shower curtain will work fine
- Brayer (if you don't have one, we will have a couple to share.)
- Paper: Your favorites with which to experiment. Scraps are great! You may wish to try printing on black. Fabric is great to try!
- Any favorite colors of acrylic paints or inks.
- Favorite stencils, plant materials, feathers, rubber stamps, and other materials (yarn or anything else you can think of—be creative!) to serve as masks; mark-making tools for experimentation.
- If you have a soft, synthetic brush that you use for acrylics, you may wish to bring that. We'll be playing and this could come in handy for making leaf shapes! Kristi will have a couple to share, also.
- Paper plate to use as pallet (we'll have a few to share for those who forget)
- Paper towels, wet wipes, rag, etc, for cleaning your brayer (we'll have a few to share)
- Your own lunch and optional snacks to share (coffee and tea will be provided)
Show and Share: This is our first chance in awhile, to socialize--please bring anything you have been working on that you’d like to share with those present.
Give-aways: This is a good place to pass on artist supplies you no longer need, but that may be treasures to another member. Kristi will be bringing donated items to pass on.
