Gel Printing Group Booking

What to expect/what’s included

Gel Printing Workshop: $155 per person (minimum 6, max 8 participants/all materials included)

Gel printing workshops designed specifically for small groups (6-8 people) bring colleagues and friends together in a fun and relaxed environment, where they support and encourage each other. These workshops provide a unique creative experience: each participant creates artworks that reflect their colour choices, style and content, and previous experience isn’t necessary!

The limited numbers ensure that there is time for both step-by-step instructions for the group and individual attention for each participant. The smile on participants’ faces when they have created a fabulous print is wonderful. The most common thing I hear at the end of each workshop is, ‘I’m going to take this home and frame it’.

  • Group booking workshops, are limited to 8 participants with a minimum of 6 people enrolled to secure the booking. The limited number ensures that each participant receives individual attention and can fully engage with the printing process and the relaxed small group experience.

  • Gel printing is fun! You get to see the results almost immediately, and even as a novice, participants walk away with a creation to be proud of by the end of the day :-)

  • This workshop aims to provide a taste of gel printing (also called mono-printing because every print is unique) without pre-purchasing the materials and tools. Therefore, everything needed for the day's printing is provided: gel plate, paper for printing, paints, stencils, masks, botanical matter (leaves, grasses, etc), brayers (rollers), and any other supplies needed to create prints.

    If participants decide that gel printing is something they would like to pursue further, the workshop handout and the Facebook group include further useful information.

  • It would be fair to say I'm addicted to monoprinting. I have been working as a full-time artist for two years, and part-time for many years.

    • For the majority of the last two years, I have been immersed in creating art using the gel printing method. You can read more about me here and browse just some of my work here.

      With decades of teaching experience, I thoroughly enjoy delivering workshops and pride myself on being well-prepared, providing practical and useful resources, and dedicated to ensuring you have a productive and enjoyable time in my workshops.

      I'm also delighted to say that I recently won the Blaney Shire Council Annual Acquisitive Art Prize for my gel print, 'Three Sheets'. This artwork will now become part of the Blaney Shire Council's permanent collection.

  • The workshop is held in the historic Millthorpe School of Arts building, the permanent home of Millthorpe Creative Arts.

    Address: 48 Victoria St Millthorpe

    Parking: plenty of unrestricted street parking

  • Continuous tea and coffee are provided and included in the workshop price.

    Catering from Nile Street Cafe can be organised for you. You are also welcome to self-cater. The venue has a full kitchen for your use.

    BYO drinks

    There are cafes, a pub, and a well-stocked IGA in Millthorpe if you wish to go out for your lunch.

  • I'll provide aprons; however, we will be working with acrylic paint - it is permanent, fast drying, and usually doesn't come out of clothes once it's dry.

    I recommend wearing old clothes, or a coverall shirt that you don't mind getting paint on.

    A notepad and pen

    Your enthusiasm, and I've got the rest covered :-)
