Gel Plate Printmaking Workshop with Liz Wellby

Create with a Gel Plate – mono printing without a Press with Liz Wellby

Gel printing plates are a lively and instant method for creating mono prints, with the advantage that you don’t require a printing press. Each print is unique and this highly adaptable process invites experimentation. Gel plates look and feel like gelatin, but are durable and reusable.

Join award winning tutor, Liz Wellby at her home studio, where she will guide you through a range of techniques, including: layering, impressing, creating stencils and exploring masking techniques with leaves and flowers. You will leave with a range of mono prints that can be seen as outcomes in their own right or can be starting points for further processes, such as painting or lino cuts. They can be collaged and used to create cards and gift tags or used in creative journals and sketch pads.

This workshop will suit the creative beginner or those with experience of different creative processes and techniques.

Thursday 4th June 2026, 10 – 4pm, with just 4 places, including: tuition, materials and use of equipment*; just bring your lunch.

*You will need to bring along a gel plate: 6 x 6 inch, 5 x 7 inch plates can be found at: www.handprinted.co.uk
