Decorative papers made by Claudia Lee using gelli plates.

If you’ve never tried mono-printing on a gelli plate but have always wanted to, this is for you! This is such an amazing tool for creating complex prints on paper.

We will be focusing on printing layered, textured and beautifully patinaed surfaces to use as a foundation for other decorative techniques or just as it is.

This is like eating potato chips. You will keep coming back for more.

The class size is limited to 6 students.

CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

Once or twice a year I offer a series of workshops in Papermaking, Boro Paper Making, Book Making, Stitched Box Making, Wax Resist, and other Decorative Papers and other paper-related classes.

If this doesn’t suit you, there is another option available.

I welcome individuals and small groups who want to come to the studio for a custom-designed class. I even do classes as part of birthday parties or other celebrations. Come with your family or friends for a day (or several) of creative play or serious study.
