Teri Jones and Laurie Trumpet Williams designed an 8-week course on creating art and prints using a gel plate. The course covers a wide range of techniques, including layering, resist, image transfers, collage and some advanced techniques. Students will receive weekly lesson drops and will also have access to four live sessions where they can interact with the instructors and other students.

In addition to the course content, students will also have exclusive access to a Facebook group where they can ask questions and share their artwork. One of the unique features of the course is that students can join at any time and learn at their own pace.  Even if we are in the middle of the "active" eight week session, students can still join.  Additionally, after the initial 8 weeks, all training and materials will be available to students to access and review at their own pace.

Registrants will receive lifetime access to course materials and replays, allowing them to revisit the content as often as they like. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this course is sure to provide you with new techniques and inspiration for your artwork.
