3 Day Gelli Print and Mixed media Workshop
I'm happy to announce I have booked a venue for a longer 3 day in-person gelli print and mixed media workshop in Inverness.
Gelli Print Exploration and collage

3 day workshop £350 inc materials and 2 course lunch + beverages
8 spaces per workshop (only 3 spaces left!)
Do you have a gelli plate but struggle to get good results? I will teach you many ways to use your collage papers to create finished designs. Learn how to add more layers to your finished paintings and brooches by embellishing with encaustic wax.
Day1: We will spend a relaxing day creating collage papers in different colour values using our gelli plates. We will use a variety of papers, markmaking tools, stencils, collagraphs and botanicals. I will also teach you how to create harmonious colour palettes.
Day 2: We will take our pile of collage papers from the previous day and use them to create finished designs on mountboard and a wooden cradleboard panel that will be ready to hang.
Day 3: We will add the finishing details to our designs before embellishing them with a layer of encaustic wax. I will demonstrate how I use the wax as a final layer on my finished pieces of art or jewellery.
"Absolutely delighted with my results!
Inspiration way beyond just using a gelli plate - the applied pattern possibilities are endless-Susan strikes just the right balance between instruction and leaving time to explore, create.
