Gel plate printing is one method of monoprinting and in this workshop we’ll be looking at how to use stencils to create simple and intricate designs. For those who are new to this type of printmaking we’ll cover the basics and then go on to look at how you can create stencils and masks in various ways and materials to use in your printing. We’ll also look at how to incorporate textures from found objects to create visual interest in your prints. We’ll be looking at simple one colour prints as well as moving on to multi layered prints which can build up intricate designs for creative artmaking. We’ll be printing on a range of papers so you’ll have lots of choice to explore this fun method of printing. Gel plate printing is an easy technique to use at home with minimal equipment – Kerrie will share a recipe with you so you can go home and make your own plate and continue the fun. This workshop uses water based paints.

Working with and understanding colour is a magical process but one that many people struggle with. Mixing paint can feel intimidating, frustrating and confusing, but it doesn’t need to be. If you struggle with mixing paint and often end up with ‘mud’; if you mix a beautiful colour but can’t remember how to get it again; if you feel like you’re wasting time and lots of money buying more and more tubes of paint; then this workshop is for you!

In this intensive workshop you will not only learn the theory of colour but also how to use colours that create confidence in your art making process. We will spend two days doing a deep dive into understanding how paints work, how to simplify your paint choices to create any colour you desire (and save money!), how to work with colour to create successful and confident palettes and how to love mud – yes mud is beautiful when you know how to use it correctly!  At the end of this workshop, you will have a whole lot of resources and information to look back at when working with colour, and a whole lot of confidence in achieving the colour mixes you want. Join Kerrie for two days of colourful fun!
