Gelli Printmaking Workshop

with Helen Dynes

Date: Nov 2 – Nov 2Space: Workshop

Artist and tutor Helen Dynes will take you through all the tips, techniques and inspirations for creating beautiful art works using gelli plates in the studio, and later on at home.

Gelli printing is a relatively new form of printmaking that uses flexible printing plates to create textures and layers of colour. Gelli plates are flexible reusable printing plates that allow you to make monoprints without a large expensive press.  Paint and paper, gelliplates and rollers will be supplied, but if you have any particular papers you wish to use, bring them along.  This workshop suits beginners and anyone who has previous experience of using gelliplate.

Cost:     $100 per person | most materials & equipment provided
Times: 10.00am – 3.00pm
