1-day workshop

Saturday 12 December 2026, 10.30am - 4.30pm

Explore the process of monoprinting with a Gelli Plate and create beautiful multi-layered prints. Use stencils and stamps to build up shapes and textures and discover how colour, shape and texture combine in a series of prints on paper.

All key materials are provided. However, you are encouraged to bring old/recycled objects to create interesting textures (plastic containers, carboard tubes, bubble wrap, old fabric, etc.).

Please wear clothes and footwear suitable for using acrylic paints and bring a bag or portfolio with you to take work away at the end of the day, bearing in mind some of it may still be wet.

Suitable for all abilities.
