Glorious Gelli Printing with Vanessa Lombardo with Vanessa Lombardo
Join printmaker and tutor Vanessa Lombardo for this fun workshop where you will explore the playful process of Gelli-plate printing. Create fun and brightly coloured prints using botanical and human made textures and experimenting with a variety of mediums.
These experiments will introduce you to the possibilities of what can be achieved from the surface of a Gelli plate and show you how to register a print and do an image transfer, add botanicals and other textures to create a collection of more complex prints.
