Printing from Nature – Gelli Plate Workshop

Join print artist Marcia Ley for this fascinating workshop learning to print from nature using ‘Gelli’ plates.

Gelli plates are a great way to experiment with mono-printing techniques, building up layers of colours (or keeping it simple with just 1 colour). It’s really fun to do and requires no prior experience of printmaking – creating really beautiful prints using nature and other bits n’ bobs to create unique patterns and textures in your prints.

In the session you will experiment with mark making using a range of textured materials, leaves and feathers on your printing plate. There will be different coloured inks and papers to print on – so each print you create will be truly unique.

It can get a little bit messy, so wearing an apron is recommended!

Tickets £38 including all materials and a cup of tea/coffee to enjoy during the workshop.
