Gelli Printing Workshop

 
Gelli printing is a fun and accessible printmaking technique that allows you to create unique layered artworks without the need for a printing press. Using acrylic paints, a Gelli plate, stencils, texture tools, stamps and found objects, you’ll experiment with colour, pattern and texture to produce a collection of one-of-a-kind prints. 
 
Throughout this four-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to: 
* Create vibrant backgrounds and layered prints 
* Build depth and interest using multiple layers 
* Use stencils, stamps and texture tools effectively 
* Explore mark-making techniques and found objects 
* Develop confidence in colour combinations and composition 
 
This workshop is perfect for beginners and those looking to add new techniques to their creative practice. The process is playful, experimental and full of surprises, making every print unique.
