Gelli Plate Printmaking

Step into a playful, experimental workshop where colour, texture and nature come together in the most joyful way.

In this Gelli plate printing session, you’ll explore the art of layering to create beautifully rich, one-of-a-kind prints inspired by the natural world. Using leaves, shapes and intuitive mark-making, you’ll build up depth and texture through vibrant layers of colour, allowing each piece to evolve organically.

This is a chance to slow down, let go of perfection, and enjoy the process. The rhythm of printing, lifting and layering becomes wonderfully absorbing, making it the perfect creative escape.

You’ll leave with a collection of unique handmade prints, each full of personality, along with a renewed sense of energy and creative confidence.

Themes & Techniques

Unless otherwise specified, we will take our inspiration from colours, patterns and shapes in nature to guide your abstract pieces.

We will cover:

  • layering

  • using objects to create textures in the surface of the plate

  • magazine transfer

What’s Included

All materials are provided. Refreshments are included so you can relax and enjoy the morning.

By the end of the workshop you will take away the beautiful set of prints that you have created.
