Gel Plate Printing for Beginners

For participants aged 16+

Classes require a minimum of 2 participants to go ahead. If a class you have booked does not meet the minimum, you will be offered an alternative date.

Step into the world of gel plate printing and discover a playful, intuitive way to create layered, textured art. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to use stencils, textures, and acrylic paints to pull vibrant (or subtly toned) prints - no prior experience needed. All you need is curiosity.

Every session is shaped by my latest experiments, your ideas, and the energy of the group. No two workshops are the same. Even if you're new to printmaking, you'll leave with new skills, fresh inspiration, and a stack of unique prints. That's the promise: a living, evolving creative experience where mistakes become happy accidents.

Purpose:

Introduce you to the magic of gel plate printing and build your confidence in creating layered, experimental prints.

Everything you need is provided: gel plates in various sizes, paints, paper, and tools. Just bring your enthusiasm.
