Gel Plate Printing Workshop with Nicola Christodoulides

Monoprint magic.

Step into a space where spontaneity leads, in this hands-on, playful workshop.

Join Nicola as we explore the art of gel plate printing intuitively—layering mark making and textures in different ways to create one-of-a-kind monoprints that surprise and delight.

Whether you're new to the process or an experienced artist seeking fresh inspiration, this is a place to let go of expectations and discover serendipitous beauty in the process.

No rules.

Just curiosity and surrender to the quiet thrill of discovery.

Please bring:

• An Apron - this process can get a little messy.
• Rags or a cloth to clean your hands and gel plate
• Plants, stamps, stencils, items that create a texture to print with (optional - as Nicola will provide a variety of interesting materials)
• Acrylics in colours you love.
• If you already have your own gel/gelli plate, and are battling/want to learn more, please feel free to bring it along. Nicola can assist you.

• gel plates and brayers (rollers) will be provided for use during the workshop
