Gel Printing: Fabric to Book Structure with Encaustic Wax Book Covers
*Please make sure to read the school's terms of use as we have a strict no refund policy*
I have designed this workshop as a truly unique Master class in this
series because who wouldn’t want to go deeper into printing on fabric
with the Gel plate?
We will work with different fabrics all
designed to ultimately culminate in a finished book structure. We will
be creating an uber juicy & thick book with covers collaged from
gelli printed fabrics we've made and thennnn….drum roll please….cover
with encaustic wax!!! Yes, Wax! Using, eco friendly non toxic beeswax,
we will use the encaustic wax on our book cover and boards and
experiment with using the wax on some of the fabric pages in our books
as well!
This course includes two pre-recorded videos and a replay of a live session that was held in September.
