Holiday Gelli Plate Printing

Bring a friend along for a fun Sunday morning making your own gelli plate holiday prints at our wonderful Arts Centre by the sea! Sign up for this beginner-friendly workshop for an energizing start to your day filled with creativity & craft as we learn to create one-of-a-kind holiday prints. During the first part of the workshop, we’ll make prints by hand with a gelli plate. Then, we’ll use the prints, along with a variety of collage materials to create unique greeting cards & gift bags. Plan to leave with at least 3 to 5 completed cards, extra prints and unlimited ideas! PLEASE NOTE: This workshop is scheduled for 9am to 11:30am Pacific Time (without adjusting for daylight savings), but due to technical glitches with shifting to the new time zone, it may appear incorrectly until the new time takes effect on November 1st. MATERIALS FEE Please bring $5 cash for the instructor to cover all materials & tool use in this workshop. Please let us know upon registration whether you have your own gelli plate & brayer that you can bring to use in class.
