Gel printing workshop | private class for up to 10 people

Description

Learn to make colourful monotype prints without the need for a press.

In this 3-hour private class, Lou Davis will take you through how to make a gelatin (vege-gel) printing plate which can be used to print beautiful and colourful works of art. 

We’ll cover a number of techniques including using stencils and masks, adding texture with botanicals and found objects and using household items for mark making and using home-made foam stamps. Textures could be chosen to match the reason for the celebration.

We’ll then take our completed prints and use them to create a collection of unique greeting cards, which could be themed with messages to suit the occasion, e.g. happy birthday, wedding wishes, good luck, festive fun, you've got this!, and so on. 

You will take home a set of up to 10 one-off, hand-printed greeting cards, with matching envelopes.

More information 

The Arienas Collective private classes are run from our supportive and welcoming home-based environment within a Georgian mews home in Edinburgh’s City Centre New Town. We invite you to join us, leave any day-to-day worries behind, and immerse yourself in being creative.

All the equipment and materials you will need are included in the price, unless stated otherwise, along with light refreshments. 

Private classes can be themed to suit the occasion, such as a special birthday, hen do, or family celebration. Just let us know when booking and we can discuss the options, including any additional charge, with you in advance.

On full day classes you are welcome to bring your own lunch. Alternatively, there are a wide range of independent sit-in or takeaway delis, cafés, supermarkets and restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. We can also provide a buffet style lunch for you if you prefer.

PLEASE NOTE: Our workshop space is on the first-floor of a Georgian mews building and unfortunately we do not have lift access. The workshop space is in our home which is not nut free. Please let us know of any skin or food allergies before booking.
