What?
Learn how to print without a press using a Gelli plate, simple stencils, and textured found materials. Ideal for complete beginners or anyone wanting a quick refresh on the basics.
With a low-pressure focus on having fun and exploring the plate, we’ll start by mastering basic brayer control and paint application.
We'll set up a simple registration system and look at how to build up clean, vibrant layers.
We'll then use stencils and masks and natural materials to create depth and contrast in your work.
You'll take away a stack of your own unique finished prints at the end of the session, ready to frame or turn into cards.
Gelli printing is fast to learn, joyful, and a perfect way to shake off the February chill!
