Painted Papers and Printmaking with Jodi Doster

Friday Evening, 5:30 – 8:30 pm

January 16th

Ages 16+

$50

This painted paper printmaking night introduces a range of techniques and materials, including gelli plate printing, and various textures and mediums in the printmaking processes. Participants will work with gelli plates to produce multi-layered, colorful, and textured monoprints. All materials and instructions will be laid out for participants to jump in and start making color full papers and prints.  We will apply essential methods such as paint application, utilizing textural tools, and creating images with stencils, stamps, and botanicals—all achievable without a large press set and ready to go.

The night will explore an array of printmaking papers and tools that can be incorporated into mixed media projects, collage, card making, and art notebooks.

There is no material list – class includes all materials.

 This class is suitable for people aged 16+ since we will be using sharp cutting tools.

My name is Jodi Doster and I spent 21 years teaching science and art at Bristol Bay Borough Middle/High School in Naknek, Alaska. I also was an Adjunct Professor for the University of Alaska Fairbanks BBC teaching biology and many art classes including watercolor, drawing, and ceramics. My teaching philosophy is a hands-on approach utilizing demonstration then working alongside students to create original pieces. I find working alongside students while discussing my process and thoughts helps students if they are stuck. I provide guidance to help students with learning new techniques and developing their own style. I am influenced by science and nature in my own artwork. I love color and have been inspired by the impressionism artists. I have been so inspired by them that I even named my dog Monet after one of my favorite impressionists!
