Discover the wonderfully playful world of gel printing and create a collection of colourful, one-of-a-kind prints! Using a gel printing plate, layers of paint, interesting textures, and a little experimentation, you'll discover how simple shapes and everyday objects can create surprisingly beautiful results. You'll be guided through the process step by step, learning how to layer colours, create patterns, use textures, and experiment with different techniques to make unique prints. The best part? There are no mistakes in gel printing — every print is an opportunity to try something new. Whether you're an experienced artist or completely new to printmaking, this relaxed and creative workshop is designed for everyone. No experience is required, and all materials are included.

Gel printing can get wonderfully messy! Why You'll Love It Gel printing is one of those art forms where the process is just as satisfying as the finished artwork. You'll never quite know what a print will look like until you lift the paper from the plate — and that's what makes each one so exciting. It's a chance to experiment without worrying about perfection, play with colour and texture, and create a whole stack of original artwork in a single session. Whether you're looking for a creative afternoon, a fun activity with friends, or simply want to try something you've never done before, you'll leave with a pile of colourful prints and a new appreciation for the possibilities of printmaking.
