I was delighted to be a part of Sinead's Gelli Art class. It was a ton of fun and really accessible for someone without much printing experience. I'd return and do it again but was very pleased to buy some new materials to bring back home for the moment.
The materials included were amazing- beautiful papers from the shop, a brayer/roller and gelli plate, gorgeous images and stencils, and Sinead's amazing book of pressed flowers and leaves. A huge range of paper textures and colors, and vibrant acrylics gave us all the flexibility you could want. I must have made at least 15 items.
Sometimes a new art form can be complex, expensive, or just intimidating. But Sinead's gelli art class really made us feel instantly able to create. Cards, stationary, prints... we did it all. The range of forms and techniques covered were really impressive. Sinead offered a pretty amazing balance of time for experimentation and techniques covered: textures, stencilling, blocking, blending paints, layering prints, pulling images, ghost prints. We also learned how to take these techniques home and add fabric and other surface painting to our skills. A great teacher, a great setting... the perfect day.
