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!
What's Included
✔ Gel printing plates and all printing supplies
✔ A variety of paints and colours
✔ A wide selection of textures, patterns, stencils, and objects to experiment with
✔ Step-by-step instructions and demonstrations
✔ Multiple finished prints to take home
Reserve Your Spot
Spaces are limited to ensure everyone has plenty of materials and room to experiment. Come get creative, get a little messy, and discover how addictive gel printing can be!
Create your own handmade holiday cards in this fun and creative Lino Cut Printmaking Workshop!
Learn the basics of lino cut printmaking and make fun Valentine’s Day-inspired postcards. You’ll carve one lino block, then use it to create as many prints as you like during the workshop — perfect for turning into unique, handmade postcards for friends and family.
Never tried lino cutting before? No problem! We’ll walk you through the process from designing and carving your block to inking and printing. Templates will be provided for anyone who would like a little inspiration or an easier starting point, or you can create your own original design.
Once you’ve finished printing, you’ll take your lino block home with you, so you can continue making prints whenever you like!
This is a great workshop for anyone looking to try something new, get into the holiday spirit, and create something personal and handmade this season.
