Gelatin Plate Monotypes with Tamar Etingen

Explore the versatility of using a cast pharmaceutical gelatin plate to create multi-layered images with MGNE artist Tamar Etigen. Tamar will use plant material and found objects to demonstrate how to create layered and colorful monotypes.

The workshop demonstrates a registration system allowing work on two prints simultaneously. This medium is non-toxic, low tech, versatile, very accessible and does not require a press.
