Create Botanical Prints with a Gelli Plate

Discover how fun and surprising it is to work with a Gelli Plate. A Gelli Plate is a flexible gel plate that allows you to create unique prints (monoprints) without a printing press. Using plants, flowers, acrylic paint and stencils, you’ll create layered prints full of colour, texture and natural shapes.

During this workshop, you’ll learn a variety of botanical printing techniques. You’ll experiment with real leaves and flowers and discover how to build up unique prints layer by layer. By playing with colour, texture and composition, every print becomes different, allowing you to create a personal series of botanical artworks.

You don’t need any drawing or painting skills to take part. This workshop is suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists, with plenty of room to experiment with the versatile possibilities of the Gelli Plate.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll go home with a collection of unique botanical prints and the knowledge you need to continue exploring this inspiring printing technique at home.
