Gel Printing
Wednesday, October 16 at 6:00pm
We will learn to make botanical gel prints straight from plants! Each print will give you two beautiful images- a silhouette and something resembling a photocopy.
Free workshops open to Duke undergraduates, graduate and professional students (including health), faculty and staff
Duke Arts Create is a series of free hands-on arts workshops designed to help all Duke students including undergraduates, graduates, and professionals (including health professionals), faculty, and staff develop a variety of creative skills in the visual arts, dance and movement, creative writing and more.
