Morning Gelli Printing with Sarah Jane Gordon
Sunday 26th October
10am to 1pm
£55
This workshop is for teens and adults .
Explore the art of gelli printing using pressed seaweeds, beachcombing treasures, and other botanical materials in this immersive, hands-on workshop. Drawing inspiration from the textures and forms of the shoreline, you’ll learn how to build layered compositions that celebrate the natural world.
Through guided demonstrations and plenty of creative play, you’ll discover how to use positive and negative space to create depth, contrast, and visual rhythm in your prints. We’ll experiment with layering techniques using ghost prints, masks, and stencils to achieve rich, multi-dimensional textures.
You’ll also explore how the distinctive forms of seaweeds, shells, fossils, pottery fragments, and seed heads can be used to create rich, tactile impressions on the gel plate. These natural and manmade finds—each with their own unique surface textures—act as both tools and inspiration, allowing you to build layered prints that echo the patterns of tide-washed shores and ancient landscapes.
Perfect for beginners and experienced creatives alike, this workshop invites you to slow down, look closely, and respond intuitively to the shapes and materials you gather from land and sea. You’ll leave with a beautiful collection of prints and new techniques to inspire your own printmaking practice.
All materials provided – but feel free to bring your own beachcombing or botanical finds!
This workshop is taught by Sarah Gordon, who will demonstrate all possibilities so you feel confident to produce many of your own prints in this experimental workshop.
