Create beautiful, layered prints working with an easily home-made gelatin plate (or a commercial gel-plate) and acrylic paints, guided by Penny Peckham, local artist and print-maker.

You will learn a range of techniques that can be used to make cards, collage papers or artists books. In the workshop you’ll use plant materials, cut paper stencils and found objects to create pattern and texture.

No print making experience needed. You’ll produce numerous beautiful prints on the day and go home with the knowledge and confidence to continue your experimentation at home. Gel-plate printing is a very addictive process!

Materials: $20 paid at the workshop. Image: Gel-plate print plus lino-cut collage.
