Printing from Nature - Gelli Plate Workshop
Join print artist Marcia Ley for this fascinating workshop learning to print from nature using ‘Gelli’ plates.
Gelli plates are a great way to experiment with mono-printing techniques, building up layers of colours (or keeping it simple with just 1 colour). It’s really fun to do and requires no prior experience of printmaking – creating really beautiful prints using nature and other bits n’ bobs to create unique patterns and textures in your prints.
In the session you will experiment with mark making using a range of textured materials, leaves and feathers on your printing plate. There will be different coloured inks and papers to print on – so each print you create will be truly unique.
It can get a little bit messy, so wearing an apron is recommended!
Tickets £38 including all materials and a cup of tea/coffee to enjoy during the workshop.
Our creative workshops often sell out quickly, so please reserve your place as soon as possible to avoid missing out. Booking essential, see below.
