Get ready to roll, press, peel and be amazed! Our Explore, Play, Print! Workshop is a hands-on, creative session with an emphasis on exploration and play.

Gelli plate printing is a playful and accessible printmaking technique that uses soft gel plates, vibrant paints, textures, and everyday objects to create one-of-a-kind layered prints. No experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment!

What will the workshop cover and how will it be taught?

During the workshop, you will: 

  • Discover how gelli plate printing works
  • Experiment with colour mixing and layering 
  • Use stencils, natural materials, and found textures 
  • Create a collection of unique prints to take home 

This is all about exploration, creativity, and having fun side-by-side. Whether you’re bold and expressive or love careful patterns and details, everyone can create something they’re proud of. 

It’s a relaxed, welcoming space where families can connect, create, and enjoy the magic of printmaking together. 

Who is it suitable for?

Ages 5+ accompanied by an adult.

Important Information

This course will be held in Studio 3.

What do I need to bring?

All materials are provided, just bring your imagination and clothes you don’t mind getting messy.
