Gelliprinting - a 5 part course at Clevedon Craft Centre from 25/04/25

£145.00 / On Sale

What?
This intensive 5 part course will advance your skills in Gelliprinting (monoprinting on a Gelli plate without a press). It's suitable for beginners or those wishing to develop their Gelliprinting skills.

This is a follow on from the popular 5 part course which ran in the Autumn, with 5 new artists for fresh inspiration and new skills to master on the Gelliplate. If you didn't do this course you can still take part as I will also cover the basic skills required to explore each artist on the Gelliplate each week.

Working with examples from some of my favourite artists, we'll learn to study and then imitate their work, innovate our own variations and then invent our own works. Each week for each different artist we'll learn new skills to work with in our mono printmaking.
You will take home finished prints at the end of each part of the course.
At the end of the course you will have the knowledge to be able to set yourself up at home to continue your own Gelliprinting journey should you wish to.
I'll also recommend Gelliprint artists you can look up to enhance your study.

Gelliprinting is fast and fun and it's easy to get hooked, so having a good set of skills allows you to not only produce works which you love but also gives you skills to be able to continue exploring at your own pace.
