Printmaking with Gelli Plates - We utilize a "Gelli Plate" and acrylic paint to produce prints on various surfaces. Gelli plates enable you to create monoprints on different types of paper, employing stencils, texture tools, and rubber ink stamps. I will be enjoyable to create unique prints for family and friends, culminating art show at the workshop conclusion.

In a free public talk, a preeminent microbiologist, Professor Ute Römling from Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden will discuss “Microbial biofilm formation -- about origin, multicellularity and clinical impact”. Römling is among the world experts in biofilms. In her public presentation, she will explain that most microbes live in communities known as biofilms. About 70 percent of human infections involve microbial biofilms. Some of the most problematic biofilms are formed on the surfaces of prosthetic devices, in chronic wounds and in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients.
