Spend four winter and spring mornings exploring the rich, diverse styles of art history on the gelliplate. No drawing skills required!
Looking for a regular creative sanctuary to see you through the winter months and into the first burst of spring?
This exclusive block booking gives you a guaranteed space on all four of our upcoming artist-inspired gel-plate workshops. Over these four unique sessions, you will transform a gel plate into a traditional printing press to explore everything from stark Scandi-noir woodblock textures and vibrant architectural collages to minimalist mid-century color blocks and elegant vintage textiles.
By committing to all four workshops, you will build a thorough, well-rounded foundation in multi-layered printing. Exploring these distinctly different artistic styles will teach you masking, registration, subtractive texturing, and multi-pass layering, giving you the skills and confidence to continue your printmaking journey at home.
The Four Sessions Included:
January: Inspired by Sybille Schenker: Midwinter Woods - Folk Art Monoprints
February: Inspired by Hundertwasser: Vibrant Towers - Architectural Collage
March: Inspired by Matisse: Spring Awakening - Graphic Cut-Outs
Late March: Inspired by William Morris: Arts and Crafts Botanicals
Gelli printing is fast-paced, highly therapeutic, and deeply satisfying. Because the process is entirely about texture, colour, and pattern rather than precise drawing, it is completely impossible to get it wrong.
You will leave each workshop with a collection of your own unique multi-layered prints.
When?
January 2027 to March 2027 (Specific dates TBC).
