Using Gelli Plate printing and packing tape transfer methods you will create several prepared papers for use in a mixed media collage. Learn the process of image transfer by monoprinting with a gelli plate and magazine images to magically transfer the images on to paper.

- The best type of imagery for image transfer
- The best paints to use
- How to image transfer using gelli plates and packing tape.
You will then create your own collage using your papers and image transfers while experimenting with composition, creating texture and atmosphere with found papers and mark making.
