Description
Discover the wonderfully playful world of gel printing and create a collection of colourful, one-of-a-kind prints! Using a gel printing plate, layers of paint, interesting textures, and a little experimentation, you'll discover how simple shapes and everyday objects can create surprisingly beautiful results.
You'll be guided through the process step by step, learning how to layer colours, create patterns, use textures, and experiment with different techniques to make unique prints. The best part? There are no mistakes in gel printing — every print is an opportunity to try something new.
Whether you're an experienced artist or completely new to printmaking, this relaxed and creative workshop is designed for everyone.
What You'll Create
During the workshop, you'll create multiple original gel prints, experimenting with different colours, textures, patterns, and layering techniques. Because each print builds on the one before it, you'll quickly develop your own style and discover just how many possibilities a gel plate can offer.
Leave with:
A collection of original gel prints
A variety of colourful and experimental designs
New printmaking techniques you can recreate at home
Artwork ready to frame, gift, use for cards, collage, journaling, or other creative projects
No two prints are exactly alike — and that's part of the fun!
