An opportunity to come together monthly to develop your Gelliprinting skills and explore amongst a community of like-minded individuals.
Designed for people who have some Gelliprinting experience.
May be suitable for beginners with some art or other printing experience.
Exploring monoprinting on and off the gelliplate and other hand printing techniques - how to combine them to create your own unique prints over the course of the 5 weeks.
There will be modelled suggestions & new skills related to the project and a chance to explore your own interpretations first in class, and then at home in the weeks between gatherings if you choose to.
We'll also share work and issues arising each session too so we can problem solve and further our own development.
Planned sessions will then evolve according to the interests of the group.
