Each cover was created collaboratively by GCG organizers. We worked together to create over 80 paintings using Gelli printing plates, hot glue, spray bottles, squeegees, markers, spray paint, colored pencils, lots of brush and bramble from the North Woods, and really anything else we found to make marks with. Working collaboratively has never been more fun and we really hope you enjoy what we’ve created!
Every cover is unique, so coming to this year’s GCG (3.15.25) is your best chance to pick out your favorite version!
