Gelli Plate Monoprinting is a fun and simple technique with many possibilities. It starts with a squishy gel surface that can hold acrylic paint in place as you manipulate it with rollers, brushes, and stencils. Remove paint, add a background color, throw in a fun texture! And now transfer it to your cardstock or paper! This is a fast and active process that is as dynamic as it is rewarding. Some other techniques include photo transferring, stamping with leaves, and custom cut outs. All supplies and paints will be provided to you, but feel free to bring unique stencils or magazines from home for photo transfers.

Paige Quinn-Vasic is a local working artist who is trained in many creative mediums such as painting, printmaking, ceramics, and more. She completed her bachelors in fine arts and art education at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, which drove her to explore an interdisciplinary practice. Her medium of choice in the last few years has been collage with painted paper, but recently got back into oil painting. The feeling of manipulating color is meditative in a way that other processes feel more removed from the quality of direct play. Her practice tends to hop between mediums as she follows the whims of her creative inner child, exploring whimsy, peculiar curiosities, and microaggressions. Since moving to Northampton in 2023, she has earned a LCC grant for her community project, Noho Art Club, and dove into teaching workshops.
