Using nature and a few supplementary techniques, you will learn how to create beautiful handmade prints using a gelatin or “gel” plate.

 
Have fun playing with print and creating your own mini collection!
 
 
 
You will begin at The Crescent then walk together to the Botanic Gardens, where we’ll stop and collect some pieces from nature.
 

Please note that the walk will take approximately 14 minutes each way (0.6 miles) up a gentle hill on public pavements.

This workshop is for those 18+ years. The workshop will still take place even if inclement weather and we ask that you dress appropriately for the weather.

Please also do let us know if you have any accessibility or additional needs.

 
 

Materials will be provided, though students are asked to bring the following:

  • around 20 sheets of A4 printer / copier paper
  • a pair of scissors
  • masking tape
