Workshop Alert!
EGPS is holding a Gelli Plate Printmaking Workshop led by Janel Warmington, Sunday, June 28, 10-3.

Gelli plates are a reusable non-toxic synthetic polymer 'plate' infused with mineral oil, that can be used with acrylic paint to create one-of-a-kind pieces without the need for an expensive printing press.

Janel will guide you through the basics of printing with a Gelli Plate including:
Care and storage of your gelli plate
How a gelli plate works
Printing with natural or found objects
Transferring magazine images onto the plate
Hand painting or colouring on the plate
Creating and using stencils with your prints
Collaging onto your gelli plate print
Printing art cards from your gelli print
Fee: $130
All materials plus an 8" x 10" gelli plate for you to take home are included in the fee. FYI, this size gelli plate would retail for $38 (not including shipping).
Contact [email protected] to register (required as space is limited).

Please if you have anything to donate before May 15, let us know! EGPS is gratefully accepting new or gently used art materials for our spring fundraiser Art Yard Sale on May 16, 10-2pm. Now is the time to to sort through the boxes stashed away in closets or stacked in the corner and make space for new . If you have too many art supplies stashed away, left over from a project or just never got to use, why not share them with others.

Searching for supplies no longer available, too expensive to import or would like to try something new, but don’t want to make a huge investment in supplies just yet? Come to out our Spring ART Supply Sale! You might find the exact tool you were looking for or be inspired by a package of pastels, a bag of fabric dyes, or that airbrush kit complete with compressor for your next project. You will never know if you don’t come to our sale.

The proceeds from our yardsale will help Elephant Grass Printmakers, a registered non profit Society, stock our studio with paper, ink, barens and othe materials for use by all members, visiting printmakers and people taking workshops with us.

Send us a message or contact us by email [email protected] for drop off details.
