The Workshop

Your tutor, Faye, is looking forward to meeting you and says: “This one day course aims to give you an introduction to gel printing and to teach you some of the different and exciting techniques on the plate that can be used to create beautiful colourful and textural mono prints for a variety of projects.

We start the workshop with a description of the basic tools and how to use the plate. Firstly, we shall start producing simple prints with acrylic paint and then begin to experiment with other mediums and techniques. By lunchtime, you will have created a stack of lovely prints to use in the afternoon session.

After a break for lunch, we will use the prints to produce some greetings cards as well as begin a pattern and doodle book that you can take home and continue to work in.”

What is the cost?

£72 + £1.35 card fee This includes all the materials needed to make your gel prints, and refreshments during the day (excluding lunch)

How many places are available?

This is a relaxed, full-day running from 10am to 4pm.

Our purple front door will be open from 9.30am so we can welcome you in, you can get to meet Faye and your fellow crafters and grab a cuppa before you start.

Specific to this workshop:

• Please bring along an A5 sized hardback book. This can be bought from a charity shop or you might have one at home that you can re-purpose. Don’t worry if you cannot find one, Faye will have spares!
• Remember to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting paint onto.
• Reading glasses if you need them.

Please bring your own lunch or some money to buy something from either the hot-food hut nearby or the small local Asda. We will be providing drinks and home-made biscuits throughout the day.

We want you to go home with a spring in your step and feel really good about what you have achieved. To make sure we can thoroughly look after you during your workshop please fill in your booking form with all the things that will help, be it your favourite milk, or any extra support you may require. Please also let us know of allergies that we may need to highlight to your fellow crafters e.g. nuts, perfume. Many thanks.
