On September 15, 2026, at Colchester Makerspace in Colchester, there's a workshop titled "An Introduction to Gelli Printing" for £50.00. Participants will learn about printing using gelli plates—a fun and accessible DIY printmaking method that allows for creating textured layers with unique outcomes over the course of two hours.
Learn about printing with gelli plates - an easy DIY printmaking process! Two hours of fun creating textures and layers with unique results!
Join Associate Artist Heidi Sharp for an exciting introductory workshop where you’ll dive into the playful world of gelli-plate printing.
This technique offers fabulous, often surprising results that are perfect for both fabric and paper creations. In this two-hour session, you’ll master the basics of mono-printing with gelatine plates, discovering how to create intriguing textures and patterns without the need for a press. Heidi will guide you through experimenting with layering, masking, stamping and using found objects for unique mark-making.
You’ll also explore creative ways to use your printed papers. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a collection of vibrant monoprints on A3 cartridge paper, ready to inspire your next project.
About the Associate Artist:
Heidi is a Fine Artist and established Printmaker inspired by the vibrant world of Pop Art. Her work often explores the themes of social media and consumerism, using printmaking techniques to reflect the mass production inherent in both areas. While she enjoys delving into conceptual pieces, Heidi also loves creating light-hearted and humorous works.
