Geli plate Workshop

Saturday 31st May 2025, 10am - 12pm, £30

With Jess Levine

This workshop enables participants to make one off, abstract prints without the use of a press. Using a geli plate, acrylic paint and a selection of natural and manmade materials, the technique encourages a loose and painterly approach with unexpected results.

The geli plate is inked up with acrylic paint on to which textures are laid. Printing the negative space where paint is exposed, and then removing the textured items to print the impressions left in wet paint gives immediate and exciting layers and depths. Adding different colours and textures allows participants to discover spontaneity and playfulness.
