Class Supply List
MONG - Gelatin Plate Printmaking Workshop - Janet Campbell
The most important supply, the one piece of equipment you have to have is a 6” x 6” Gelli Plate (available at Blick’s at Central Square)
For the rest: bring what you have. You do NOT have to buy all of these—just bring them if you already own them:
• Acrylic paints (any thickness)
• Acrylic Retarder
• Speedball Block Printing Inks
• Speedball Retarder & Extender (if you’ll be using Speedball printing inks)
• Combs, color shapers, credit cards (as many of these as you can get—you can pick up empty value cards at places like Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts—just don’t take a lot from any given coffee shop!)
• Texture materials: lace, thread, yarn, anything you can think of. We have a good collection in the studio, but you may have some of your own you’d like to try. Corrugated cardboard, oddly shaped flat objects . . . Also: natural materials like leaves, weeds, grasses—not twigs or anything too 3-D
• Stencils or shape masks—again if you have any
• Roll of good paper towels
• Brushes (not any very expensive ones)
• Sponges
• Hand sanitizer (for wiping the plates)
