Drop-in Session with Gel Plate Printing
The exhibition “On to New Works! Max Slevogt, Bruno Cassirer, and Max Liebermann” showcases the diverse ways in which artists around 1900 experimented with drawing and printmaking for illustrated books. Together, we’ll discover how a single initial idea can give rise to ever-new images through various printing techniques.
In the family workshop, young and old alike can try their hand at gel plate printing and discover the many possibilities this technique offers. Using colors, shapes, and textures, participants will create unique prints in which leaves, flowers, and other finds from the garden become natural printing stencils, leaving fascinating marks on the paper.
In gel plate printing, ink is transferred to paper using a soft gel plate—without a printing press. Layering different colors creates surprising patterns and unique compositions. Each layer transforms the image, making every print one-of-a-kind.
The result is colorful artwork in which the textures and shapes of the garden are reflected in a very unique way, demonstrating just how versatile printmaking can be.
