Botanical Gelliprinting and Collage at Clevedon Craft Centre on 06/09/25

£37.50 / On Sale

What?
Come and learn the basics of gelliprinting (mono printing on a gelli plate - no printing press required) and collage in a welcoming, fun and supportive class.

For beginners or those with some gelliprinting experience.

We'll start by creating marks on the gelliplate in a variety of ways to create background textures and shapes on the paper.
Then we'll learn how to use stencils to create bold designs on top. The examples shown are botanical designs but you can choose to use stencils provided by the tutor or cut your own design - which can be any shape! No drawing skills required.

Finally you'll combine some of your background and stencil printed papers together through cutting and collaging and adding some smaller cut marks for effect.
The designs we cut will be guided by the printed shapes, so it's a great class to build some confidence in both printing and collaging!

Every step is modelled first by the tutor and then 1:1 supported is provided throughout where needed.

You'll take away your own unique finished collaged prints ready to pop into a mount and frame, plus the skills and knowledge of the basics of gelliprinting.

When?
It runs from 10 - 1pm on Saturday 6th September 2025
