Uncover the possibilities of printmaking without a press and the joy of jellyplates! Gel printing plates are an exciting method for creating monotypes with. The plates look and feel like gelatine, but are durable and easy to clean and store.  Stef will be guiding you through a range of techniques, using a variety of natural and manmade items and stencils, to create a series of prints that can be seen as inspiring artworks in their own right, or may lead on to be the beginning of other artworks.

This workshop is suitable for both beginners and those with more experience, that would like to explore new ideas and techniques.

Essential materials are provided as part of this workshop cost but you're welcome to bring along any inspiring items such as seaweed, leaves, materials or anything with interesting textures.
