Gelli Printing with Sophie Taylor

Curious about monoprinting with gel plates? Join Gamilaroi artist Sophie Taylor for a fun, hands-on introduction to the joy of Gelli Plate Printing! Gelli printing is a playful and accessible printmaking technique that invites you to experiment with colour, texture, pattern and layering to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind prints. Throughout the workshop, Sophie will guide you through the process of creating unique prints using paint, stencils, botanicals and collage. You'll explore different mark-making techniques, experiment with colourful, painterly layers and discover the wonderfully unpredictable nature of monoprinting. You'll then transform your prints into a collection of handmade, collaged cards to take home, perfect for gifting!
