Introduction to Gel Plate Printing

Discover the playful and experimental world of gel plate printing in this hands-on workshop. Over two hours, you’ll be guided through the exciting process of creating richly layered, colourful prints using simple tools and natural materials.

You’ll learn how to combine and roll inks, experiment with layering techniques, and explore the unique textures and patterns that can be achieved with foraged leaves, plants, feathers, and other found objects.

Through step-by-step demonstrations and plenty of time for your own experimentation, you’ll unlock creative ways to build depth, colour, and detail in your prints.

This workshop is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to try a fresh, expressive approach to printmaking. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a collection of your own vibrant prints and the skills to continue exploring this versatile and accessible art form at home.

You are welcome to bring drinks and snacks with you. Aprons…
