Printing with BotanicalsIn this three hour workshop you will learn the art of printing with botanicals onto plaster.
At the end of the session you will have the knowledge and skills to develop your practice at home and create unique works of art. I will have a selection of flowers and gathered plant material to work with and you are welcome to bring your own to see if they will be suitable. This is a very hands on workshop with the emphasis on learning fundamental skills, safe practice and experimentation. At the end of the session you will have a small finished print. This will need to cure over the coming days. 3 Hour Workshop including all materials £60 |

Using a Gel PlateIn this three hour workshop you will experiment with the printmaking capabilities of a simple Gel Plate.
This is a wonderful way to make realistic prints of soft botanicals and it also lends itself to very free form mark making expression. We will use water based acrylic with an extender and experiment on a selection of painted and plain papers. At the end of the Workshop you will have a good basis to continue working alone. I will have a limited number of gel plates to purchase and they are now affordable and easy to obtain form art supply stores. This workshop is especially suitable for children and anyone who enjoys working quickly and intuitively. 3 Hour Workshop including all materials £50 |

Making your MarkIn this three hour workshop we each take a large sheet of thick Fabriano paper and see where it takes us.
Mark making is an ancient and potent tool for transformation and change. We will experiment with collage, line and stitch and use a variety of paints, ink, oil pastels and charcoal. There is the opportunity to finish the work into a simple folded book or to cut it into smaller cards that can become the basis for further work. This is a deceptively simple process that when used with intent is a fabulous way to discover marks that feel authentic. A great workshop for anyone feeling a bit stuck or intimidated by the blank page. 3 Hour Workshop including all materials £50 |
