Service Description
Discover the art of Geli Pate Printing as more than just a creative pastime—transform it into a medium for meaningful expression. In this immersive course, you will explore techniques, tools, and the philosophy behind Geli Pate Printing. Perfect for beginners and seasoned artists alike, this class focuses on how to harness the versatility of Geli Pate Printing to create layered, visually striking prints to take away with you. Having relocated to the North Pennines in 2015, Elizabeth Hunt was deeply moved by the raw beauty of her surroundings. This sparked her transition from a lifelong non-artist to a passionate printmaker. Combining her love of nature with a fascination for craft and technique, Elizabeth creates prints that celebrate the landscapes, animals, and plants she encounters, using collected natural materials to tell stories through her art. Geli plate Printing is a uniquely spontaneous and creative art form where every print is one of a kind—no two can ever be exactly the same. Guided by Elizabeth, you’ll explore layering vibrant colours, textures, and shapes, using stencils and masks as well as other mixed media to develop your prints. By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a collection of beautiful, nature-inspired prints to cherish. *** What You’ll Learn:*** - The Basics of Geli Plate Printing: Introduction to materials, techniques, and foundational skills. - Selecting tools, papers, inks, and resources. -Preparing your plate and maintenance - Layering for Depth: How to use stencils, textures, and colour blending to add complexity to your prints. - Developing your print using additional medias. - Methods for pulling your print- The magic of the reveal. ***Course Cost & What’s Included:*** The course cost for this workshop is £65.
