What would you do with a simple hole puncher and a manilla file folder?
You could make some masking stencils to use with gelatin plate printmaking. These files folders are a little more sturdy than paper, so the stencils will last longer.
Think of creative ways to use the hole puncher:
- line of hole on the edge
- fold the paper and punch a hole in the middle
- fold the paper to reach other areas of the paper
- Punch only 1/2 the circle to get a gear tooth effect
- Cut your paper in different shapes
I got you started, so now cut a few new stencils do some creative hole punching and try using them with the gelatin plate.
If you want more guidance with working with the gelatin plate and making prints, then join us in the next Gelatin Printmaking Workshop – the 4 week class starts, September 19th. Read all the details about this online printmaking workshop here.
Additionally, you will receive a weekly email about printmaking, ideas, tips and courses.
Join us today and start having fun!
