GPS is the original online gel plate summit, now in its fourth year.
DO NOT BOOK ON THIS WEBSITE . . . please read on . . .
It is a fantastic two-week online event bringing together 14 incredible gel plate artists from around the world to share next-level techniques you won't find by just scrolling social media. Over 10,000 students have already jumped into these summits, and this year the focus is entirely on intermediate and advanced skills to help you break automatic habits and refresh your perspective.
How the Summit works:
The event runs from September 28 through October 11. One brand-new, prerecorded video lesson drops each day during the two weeks. Because they are prerecorded, you can log in and watch whenever you have time, working completely at your own pace! Best of all, you get lifetime access to all 14 lessons so you can revisit them whenever you need a refresh.

In my lesson, "A Concertina Book of Explorations," we will use a continuous, flowing layout to invite pure momentum and play into your practice. We will pick just one core element—like line, texture, or shape—and push it to its absolute limits on a dynamic surface. It is all about risk-free exploration, celebrating mistakes, and discovering how limiting your parameters actually unleashes creative freedom!
I've even put together a super helpful downloadable handout packed with prompts to help you layer your prints and keep your creative momentum flowing.
Past students absolutely love this experience. One attendee, Patricia P., called it "Crazy good! This summit had something for everyone at any level. The best bang for my buck I have experienced!"
I have taken the summit myself in both '23 and '24 and still revisit content to refresh my memory or pick up tips!
