  WORKSHOPS

Learning is fundamentally about igniting, developing and extending your own passion through creating and expressing yourself.

 I'm committed to helping you discover and tune your unique artistic voice.  My approach is built on:-Collaborative Learning: My workshops do not simply focus on instruction, techniques or how to paint like me but seek to create a warm and inclusive environment where artists of all levels can come together, share ideas, and learn from one another. Compassionate Support: Creating art is a deeply personal experience and our visual journey is never fixed. Every course and workshop has at its core personalised support and guidance throughout empowering you to grow and develop as an artist.Nurturing Your Creativity: creativity flourishes when you are enabled to take risks, play and have fun in a safe and nurturing space. My workshops are designed to provide you with a range of tools, techniques, and inspiration which you can then use to express yourself in your own practice. ​Whether you're a practicing artist looking to refine your skills and thinking or a beginner eager to learn, there is a workshop for you. When workshops are released there is always limited availability so sign up to be the first to hear of up coming dates and promotions.

Workshop Description: Introduction to Gelli Plate Printing

We will spend half a day experimenting with the basics of Gelli printing. This is a form of mono-printing with a gelatine plate and is an easy and a playful method of printing and layering textures, colour and patterns which can be produced without the need for a press. You will be expertly guided on how to experiment with this technique, layering, masking, stamping using found objects from around the home and garden, stencilling for mark making and collaging to create detailed and highly personal one off pieces. You will come away from the workshop with a wide range of different mono prints printed onto A4 and A5 cartridge paper which can then be used as works in their own right, used to collage into bigger works or to make cards with.

This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience

All materials and teas/coffees and biscuits will be provided.
