Washi Tape is a great way to enhance your art - but are you sick of paying such high prices for it? Do you wish you had personalized Washi Tapes, or more variety? It’s time to learn to MAKE YOUR OWN!

In this class you will learn to us a gel-plate printing process to transform plain transparent tape into Washi Tape. Students will create multi-layered gel printed backgrounds that will be enhanced by using both hand-crafted and commercial stencils for contrast and design. Mary Alice will demonstrate two different methods to turn these prints into Washi Tape that you can then use in your artwork, collages, journaling, and more! Sudents may also use an assortment of additional paper and fiber elements to use their new Washi Tapes in making a complex collage. 

Besides your collage, you will take home additional Washi Tape and gel prints for use with other art!

This class seats 8 students. For any questions regarding our cancellation or transfer policy, please refer to the link in our navigation bar.
