What?
Learn how to print without a press, using found botanical materials and a Gelli plate. For beginners or those who've had some experience of gel plate printing.
With a focus on winter plants and shapes and colours, we'll explore how to make layered prints using found plant materials and stencils. We'll set up a simple registration system and explore how to work with different colour combinations. We'll explore making marks on the paper pre-printing to create depth.
One of my favourite ways to then use the printed materials is to create larger collages of different pieces - I'll model this and you can have a go if interested, or you can continue making more prints.
You'll take away finished prints at the end of the course, ready to pop in a frame or turn into cards.
Gelliprinting is fast to learn and fun and it's easy to get hooked!

It runs from 10 - 1pm on Saturday 18th January 2025 TBC
