Spend your Saturday morning using gel plates in our print studio, with a small group along with local printmaking artist Rachel Richardson, aka Bobshaped.
Using soft gel printing plates, you’ll learn how to create vibrant, layered monoprints with acrylic paints, textures, and found materials without the need for a printing press. Experiment with pattern, colour, and composition as you build unique prints using a range of mark-making tools and inks.
By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a collection of one-of-a-kind A4 monoprints and the confidence to continue exploring this versatile and addictive process at home, as well as instructions on how to make your own gelli plate!

Who is this workshop for?
This session is aimed at beginners, so don’t worry if you’ve never done printmaking before! It is also suitable if you have some previous experience but would like to try a new technique and gain some new inspiration.
Do I need to bring anything?
All materials and equipment will be provided. If you have any thin objects such as lace, threads, leaves, etc then feel free to bring them along to experiment with. We recommend wearing old clothes in case you get a bit inky! Please wear sensible shoes with a covered toe – so no sandals, ballet shoes or high heels in the print studio.
