Gelli Plate Printing Workshops

Discover the joy of Gelli plate printing at Doodlebugs Arts & Crafts!

Looking for a creative activity that is relaxing, fun and a little bit different? Gelli plate printing is a wonderful way to explore colour, texture and pattern while creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind prints.

Using a soft gel printing plate, acrylic paints, rollers and a variety of interesting textures, you'll experiment with layering colours, pressing objects into paint and revealing unexpected designs on paper. Every print is different, and that's part of the magic!

What is Gelli Plate Printing?

Gelli plate printing is a form of monoprinting that allows you to create unique prints without needing a traditional printing press. Paint is rolled onto a reusable gel plate, textures and patterns are added, and paper is pressed onto the surface to transfer the design.

From delicate botanical prints to bold abstract patterns, the possibilities are endless. You can experiment, play and discover your own style in a relaxed, supportive environment.

What to Expect at Our Workshop

Our Gelli plate printing workshops give you the opportunity to:

• Experiment with colour, texture and pattern.

• Explore layering techniques to create interesting effects.

• Use stencils, leaves and other textured materials to create unique designs.

• Make a collection of original prints to take home.

• Enjoy some creative time away from the everyday hustle and bustle.

Do I Need Any Experience?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are suitable for beginners, so there's no need to have any previous art experience. We'll guide you through the process and encourage you to experiment at your own pace.

Whether you're feeling creative already or simply fancy trying something new, you're very welcome.

Why Try Gelli Plate Printing?

Gelli plate printing is an enjoyable way to unwind, explore your creativity and embrace the unexpected. It's hands-on, experimental and wonderfully satisfying, with plenty of opportunities to discover new techniques and create something completely your own.
