I use the technique of printing on a gelli plate to prepare papers for collage and to work on layering drawings and shapes.

Art Club @home

To keep in touch and to keep us off the streets I will be posting ideas to extend the work we did in class this term.

If I get good at this you will be able to comment and ask questions and even share your work.

I have been trying out a geli plate to use with my students in the autumn term. It is a very easy to use printing method and can be used well with plants and organic materials.This print was made using barley seeds.

Beautiful Roots

Making paper from plant materials and printing images of roots and root sections onto the paper.

turnip_9117 A latex cast of a turnip plant, the roots are so fine that they became completely coated in the latex however the plant is now more robust and easy to handle.I plan to use the latex cast to make a photo sensitive etching plate. And print from that as the cast is very fragile.

The Turnip Project

Baby turnips grown in hydroponics over two weeks at the James Hutton Institute. Planning to press them into plant papers, or collage them into prints. Roots are very fine and needed to be floated onto paper so that I could spread them .

I am currently casting larger roots grown over 6 weeks with thin layers of latex which I can then use as a mould for casting plant papers. $latex-cast$
