Gelli printing is a form of monoprinting that uses a flexible, reusable plate, often called a Gelli plate, to create unique prints on paper or fabric. The process involves applying paint to the plate, adding textures and patterns with stencils or found objects, and then pressing paper or fabric onto the plate to transfer the design.
Participants will use water soluble materials to paint directly on a screen, then apply a transparent base to create unique monotypes.

In this workshop, participants will create textured printing plates using various materials, then ink and print them to produce rich, layered images.
Participants will use textured materials and stencils placed behind the paper on a press to create layered, ghostly, and painterly images.
In this workshop, participants will carve away the areas they want to remain white on a soft, easy-to-cut block. The image will be printed from the raised surfaces left on the block after carving. Relief printing is the oldest form of printmaking, and these prints are characterized by their bold contrast between light and dark areas.
In this workshop, a single block is carved and cut into separate pieces, inked individually, and reassembled for printing. This method allows for multi-color designs without the need for multiple blocks.
Participants will use water soluble materials to paint directly on a screen, then apply a transparent base to create unique monotypes.
Water soluble monotypes are a form of printmaking that uses water-soluble crayons and watercolor paints. Participants use these materials to paint and draw on a plexiglass plate. The paints are allowed to dry and are then printed on an etching press using damp paper. Wet paper reactivates the water-soluble materials and results in a vibrant impression. This form of monotype is the form of printing we offer that is closest to drawing and painting.
Join us on May 17th for a family-friendly, garden-themed Free Ink Day!
Using a single plate, participants will create layered ,multi-color prints by strategically removing and re-inking areas of their design.

Please join us at Highpoint on Saturday, March 15 at 5pm for a gallery conversation with McKnight Fellows Grace Sippy and Fidencio-Fifield Perez. The conversation will be moderated By Teréz Iacovino.
About the guest moderator: Teréz Iacovino (she/her) is an artist, educator, and the Assistant Curator of the Katherine E. Nash Gallery at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. As a First-Gen graduate working in academia her curatorial mission is to cultivate empathy for, give voice to, and take risks with underrepresented artists. Iacovino is the recipient of a Curatorial Research Fellowship Grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and is a 2024 National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures Leadership Institute Fellow. She is currently co-organizing Vaivén: 21st Century Art of Puerto Rico and Its Diaspora (September 9 - December 6, 2025) with José López Serra, a multidisciplinary exhibition that gathers forty-three intergenerational artists of Puerto Rican descent working from the archipelago and its stateside diaspora over the last twenty-five years.
Within her own artistic practice, Iacovino's recent works function as a chain of unique installations, combining objects, text, and collage, that explore ways to process loss, map time, and negotiate familial history. Her current investigations explore familial estrangement within the Puerto Rican Diaspora coupled with an inherited colonial legacy spanning over half a century. She draws from objects and photographs that document these two intertwined histories, examining questions of authenticity and inheritance in relation to a diasporic consciousness.

TYhis event is made possible through the generous support of the McKnight Foundation. The McKnight Foundation is a family foundation based in Minnesota that seeks to advance a more just, creative, and abundant future where people and planet thrive.
Join us on March 8th for a family-friendly, LEGO-themed Free Ink Day!
In this workshop, participants will cut paper stencils and can use certain found objects to build an image. After inking the stencils and applying them to a plexiglass plate, it is run through an etching press to create a unique, one-of-a-kind print.
This free workshop will cover the basics of applying to artist opportunities such as residencies, open calls, and fellowships: looking for opportunities, developing personal criteria for which to apply to, tracking deadlines, organizing application materials, and - most crucially - navigating rejections and cultivating resilience to keep applying. Following a presentation, participants will be invited to discuss and share their own methods, experiences and questions.
Join us at Highpoint for an artist lecture by Emma Nishimura
