Gel Printed Greeting Card Workshop

Every gel print is a one-of-a-kind piece of art!



2.5 hours Location Alameda Class size 1 to 8 guests   $55

In this gel-printed greeting card workshop, you will immerse yourself in a world of creative possibilities as you learn how to use monoprinting techniques with gelatin plates. You will have the opportunity to create unique prints on paper and then transform them into personalized greeting cards to take home.
  • Explore the monoprinting technique with gelatin plates
  • Create one-of-a-kind prints on paper
  • Trim and glue your favorite prints onto cardstock greeting cards
During the workshop, you will work with acrylic paints and a variety of tools like masks, stencils, leaves, and everyday items to add textures and images to your prints. Layering different textures and images on the plates will allow you to experiment and create new effects with each print "pull."
Rest assured that all materials will be provided for you. While the activity involves working with paint, it is not overly messy. However, it is advisable to avoid wearing your fanciest attire as acrylic paints may not wash out easily.
Get ready to unleash your creativity in a supportive and encouraging environment. The experience of creating your own gel-printed greeting cards can be both relaxing and rewarding. At the end of the workshop, you will leave with a collection of handmade cards that reflect your unique artistic style.

  • 5/5 from Margaret Pico, attended Mar 2026: We had a great afternoon making gel plate prints for notecards. All the supplies were provided and after some demonstrations we got right to making prints. There’s lots of opportunity for creativity and experimentation with gel prints. Super fun!

Janet Kornegay has been a maker and teacher her entire life. Growing up in a family where creating art and DIY projects was the norm, she developed a lifelong passion for hands-on making. Trained as a scientist, Janet has taught science at every level -- from elementary school to graduate programs -- starting when she was still in high school. She recently retired after 25 years in biotech.
Janet is the founder of Make Happy Art Studio and has been teaching jewelry making and mixed media workshops since 2015. Her classes cover torch-fired enameling, fused fine silver, wire and beaded jewelry, and mixed metal assemblage using cold connections. She has also led mixed media workshops, including altered tins (pocket ofrendas) and gelli printing.
There’s no craft Janet isn’t excited to try, and she continually seeks new techniques and media to bring into her classes.
