Explore the playful and versatile world of gel plate printmaking in this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop led by Nikki Luscombe. Over 2.5 hours, participants will experiment with three distinct techniques that spark creativity and build confidence:

  • Simple Prints with Household Items – Use everyday objects and masking techniques to create bold, graphic mono-prints.
  • Botanical Printing – Capture delicate, organic impressions using natural materials like leaves and flowers.
  • Image Transfers – Transform magazine clippings and photocopies into layered, expressive prints with visual storytelling.

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a vibrant collection of one-of-a-kind prints—perfect for collage, card making, journaling, or framing. The process is intuitive and open-ended, making it ideal for both seasoned artists and those new to printmaking.

This creative workshop offers a relaxed, inspiring environment for adults looking to explore mixed media and discover new techniques.
