Play. Print. Create.

Ready to spark your creativity? Join me for a fun, hands-on workshop where you’ll explore the colorful world of gelli plate printing and turn your handmade papers into a one-of-a-kind collage. No experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to play!

  • Start with a demo: I’ll show you simple, magical printing techniques with a gelli plate.

  • Make your own papers: Experiment with color, texture, and pattern as you create a stack of beautiful prints.

  • Create a collage: I’ll guide you through creating a collage of an apple or pear using torn pieces of your printed paper.

  • Wrap up with sharing (optional): Celebrate your creativity and see the amazing variety of work from the group.
