Botanical Grid Workshop

Botanical Grid Workshop

Join artists Sam Waters & Jan Austin for a relaxed and inspiring half-day workshop exploring botanical printing and collage. You’ll create your own beautifully layered artwork using real leaves, acrylic paint, a Gelli plate, and a curated collection of vintage and specialty papers.

In the morning, you’ll print a variety of textures and colours using botanical forms. In the afternoon, you’ll select your favourite prints, cut them into strips and squares, and assemble your own unique botanical grid collage on a pre-prepared wooden panel.

You’ll leave with:

• A finished artwork ready to hang or frame

• New skills in Gelli plate printing and collage

• A warm glow from creative play and community

What’s Included:• Gelli Plate Techniques

• Layering & Composition - Learn how to build up your prints
• New textures & materials - experiment with botanicals
• Explore different papers - try printing on vintage papers, tissues and unexpected surfaces
• Editing and refining your prints - gain confidence in making creative choices

•Hands-on Guidance throughout & all materials

All materials are provided, and there will be frames available to purchase on the day.

Spaces are limited! Whether you are new to Gelli printing or looking to expand your skills, or simply want a creative day, we'd love to have you join us.
