Ever looked through your holiday photos and wished you could turn those memories into something a little more creative? This workshop is a chance to do just that, with a playful mix of printmaking and collage!
The fun starts with Gelli printing, a simple yet wonderfully versatile way to create unique patterns and textures using a gel printing plate. Gelli printing is a form of monoprinting, meaning each print is a one-off creation rather than an exact copy of the last. Experiment with colours, layers and everyday shapes to produce a collection of one-of-a-kind prints. Each pull from the plate brings a slightly different result, so you never quite know what you'll get – and that's all part of the fun!
Once you've built up your own selection of printed papers, it's time to get cutting, arranging and piecing things together. Taking inspiration from travel, think about the places you've visited, the landscapes that caught your eye, the colours of a favourite city or those little details that remind you of being somewhere new. You can bring these ideas into your collage through playful shapes, contrasting colours and different layers of paper.
There are no strict rules about how your finished piece should look. Perhaps you'll create an abstract map of a memorable journey, bring together different colours and patterns to represent a favourite destination, or make something inspired by the feeling of exploring somewhere for the first time. You can experiment with composition, overlap different prints and discover how small details can transform the whole picture.
What makes this experience special is that every print and every collage develops in its own way. Rather than following a fixed template, you'll have the freedom to try things out, move pieces around and see where your ideas take you.
Whether you're a keen traveller, a fan of handmade art or simply curious about trying a new creative technique, expect plenty of colour, a little happy experimentation and a finished piece that's completely your own!

FAQ

Is this workshop beginner friendly?
No previous experience with printmaking or collage is needed. Gelli printing is a fun and accessible technique to try, and you can experiment with different designs at your own pace.
Do I need to bring my own travel photos?
Not necessarily! You can take inspiration from places you've visited, dream destinations or travel memories without needing to bring personal photographs. The focus is on exploring your own ideas and creating a collage that feels personal to you.
Will my finished artwork be ready to take home?
Your collage will be created during the workshop, so you'll have your own handmade artwork to take away at the end of the session.
