After some intros, you'll receive demos on how to use the gelli prints. We'll be using acrylic paint and fresh flowers to create quick-drying prints.


Your Turn to Print

Your Turn to Print

You'll be invited to start printing, with continued support. Experiment as much as you wish! We have collage supplies and papers to explore colour combinations and different approaches.


Choose Your Cards

Choose Your Cards

If you'd like to mount your prints onto greeting cards, we'll have blanks available and the guillotine to chop prints down to size, so you can stick them on in the class and create finished cards!


Discover the joy of playful printmaking at our Gelli Printing Workshop, a relaxed creative session where you’ll experiment with colour, texture, and layered mark-making to create your own unique artworks.
We’ll explore a range of gelli printing techniques, including printing with natural textures, painting directly onto the plate, and building abstract geometric patterns. You’ll create a beautiful stack of experimental prints as you go and then choose how to finish your favourites.
You can turn your final pieces into a set of six greeting cards or bind a mini concertina to document your creative journey, a lovely keepsake of your time in the studio.
With a variety of papers and acrylic paints to explore, you’ll have plenty of time to play, test ideas, and surprise yourself along the way.
All materials, tea and coffee are included, just bring your curiosity and a love for handmade things.
Can’t make the listed time? We’re happy to help arrange an alternative slot, whether you’d like a private session or a new group workshop time for others to join too.

  • 5/5 from Sana R, attended Oct 2026: Class was great. Everything was well explained and there was ample supply of materials to experiment. I had a lot of fun and would recommend this class
  • 5/5 from Zoe Kinstone, attended Sep 2026: Fab session, clear explanations and then lots of time to explore. We made prints with flowers, leaves, feathers and bits of magazines. It was our first time and we really enjoyed it!
  • 5/5 from Michelle Griffin, attended Sep 2026: A great introduction to gelli printing and we learned a few different techniques. A very calm, chilled out atmosphere with tea and coffee available.
  • 5/5 from Jack Wheeler, attended Sep 2026: Really enjoyed it, clear explanations, friendly people and great fun. Would definitely recommend. Will be looking for more courses there
  • 2/5 from Jennifer Cattlin, attended Sep 2026: The Teacher was very nice and made everyone feel comfortable. Unfortunately for me the class felt very junior.
  • 5/5 from Anna Faherty, attended Aug 2026: Great venue, clear and encouraging instruction and plenty of time and materials to experiment with - means you can try different techniques out and produce some wayward prints, but also come away with a few lovely pieces. Overall, a great starter session!
  • 5/5 from Tejuola Olakigbe, attended Aug 2026: This was really enjoyable - our teacher was great, looked after us and explained everything well. I appreciated the open relaxed atmosphere and chatting about print making and creative techniques we could apply beyond the workshop too. Thanks a lot!
  • 5/5 from Helena Rowley, attended Aug 2026: The teacher was lovely and there was a nice relaxed atmosphere throughout the class. She showed us various techniques such as pressing into the ink with flowers, creating layers, carving onto the ink and painting directly onto the plate. The workshop itself is a really nice, light space and I would love to come back for another!
  • 5/5 from Deborah, attended Aug 2026: A excellent introduction to gel plate printing. Like many people I had the gelli plate and was finding instagram to be a very poor guide to how to use it. This has made all the difference - came away with loads of examples and loads ideas. Thoroughly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Nikita Hayward, attended Jul 2026: Small class size in a friendly and welcoming environment. Really enjoyed hearing about what other people were planning to do next with what they made in class. I got to make a lot of prints with plenty of materials to experiment with!
  • 5/5 from Kirsty, attended Jul 2026: I did the gelli printing workshop and with no prior experience it was a great opportunity to get creative for a couple hours in a lovely friendly setting.
  • 5/5 from Mimi Taka, attended Jul 2026: Had lots of fun with Gelli Printing, even purchased a gelli plate to carry on at home. Our teacher Emily was so welcoming and put us at ease giving lots of ideas and encouraging us to try different techniques, time flies when we have fun! Will definitely try other workshops.
  • 5/5 from Lynsey Cosham, attended Jul 2026: Had a lovely morning playing with gelli printing. Emily was a lovely teacher, kind and calm and the space is really nice too.
  • 5/5 from Livia Raivio, attended Jul 2026: Had a wonderful time during the Gelli Printing workshop. It was very relaxing and fun to get my hands dirty and experiment with different marks and textures in a chill, zero-pressure environment. Emily who ran the session was lovely and very helpful! Would definitely go to other sessions in future!
  • 5/5 from Malou Holm, attended Mar 2026: I enjoyed the class very much. I learned a lot and the vibe and atmosphere made me feel so comfortable. Emelie was a great teacher and explained the process of gelli printing very good. Thank you! I will be back! Malou from Stockholm, Sweden
  • 5/5 from Georgia Leggott, attended Dec 2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The gelli print class was absolutely amazing! ✨ The team at Something Good Workshops are just the loveliest people, so welcoming, supportive, and fun to learn from We came away feeling super confident to do geli printing at home, which is the best feeling Would 100% recommend checking out their other workshops too, we can’t wait to come back and try more! A big bonus is these workshops are suitable for solo visits, couples or friends, it felt like such an inclusive space. And Swifties… support a fellow Swiftie!
  • 5/5 from Poonam Dhuffer, attended Dec 2025: A warm, playful and welcoming atmosphere! I loved the intuitive and emergent process. Emily opened the workshop by explaining the materials and process, she gave us a demo of several printing processes that were mesmerising to witness. Then we explored and flowed with printing with flowers and leaves, drawing into the Gelli plate, and playful with different quality of papers and colours. I really appreciated the spaciousness of time, exploration and reflections. I also loved that Emily didn't rush us to "finish", it was more a gentle closing and goodbye. The music and warm drinks also made the ambience feel warm and inviting. I highly recommend this workshop, especially for people who overthink, strive for perfectionism or are always trying to be "productive". I left with my heart and soulful! inviting. I can't wait to come back again and play more!
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Dec 2025: Lovely venue. Lovely class. Lovely facilitators. Great to finally try this craft I’ve been wanting to get to grips with. Lovely chill atmosphere. I’ll be back!
  • 5/5 from Paula Thorpe, attended Dec 2025: Very creative, the more you work with this the more you want to try. Love this class, as always the ladies are super friendly and supportive. You have the freedom to create in your own time and find your own style within the medium.
  • 5/5 from Tracey Moody, attended Nov 2025: I had such a fantastic time at the gelli printing class! It was the perfect mix of fun, creativity, and relaxation. A welcoming atmosphere where you’re free to experiment and play with colour and technique. I left with a stack of unique prints and tons of inspiration for future projects. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking to explore their artistic side!
  • 5/5 from Maria Yasnova, attended Mar 2025: Such a lovely session again! Learnt a new skill and spent quality time with my daughter on Mother’s Day! Thank you for your friendly welcome and tons of knowledge and experience that you e shared with us

Hi, we’re Emily and Jess, the creative minds behind Something Good Workshops!
Our journey began in 2019 when Emily launched Something Good Workshops (originally known as MADEptford) as a way to spread crafty joy and raise funds for running the London Marathon. What started as a one-time idea quickly grew into a passion for bringing people together through creativity. Since then, we’ve hosted a wide variety of workshops, from arm knitting to body casting, in all kinds of spaces - corporate offices, cosy pubs, pop-up shops, and even people’s homes.
After taking a short break, we’re back with fresh energy and an exciting new partnership. Jess has joined the team, and together, we’re on a mission to spark joy and empower people to explore their creativity in relaxing, welcoming spaces. We believe there’s something magical about slowing down, working with your hands, and leaving with something you’ve made yourself - whether it’s a chunky knit blanket, a personal shrine, or a collage bursting with personality.
What makes us unique? We’re all about creating an environment where people feel at ease, whether they’re a total beginner or a seasoned maker. Over the years, we’ve held workshops in so many different settings, and one thing always stands out: the joy people feel when they realize just how creative they can be.
We’re not just here to teach a craft - we’re here to help you unwind, have fun, and leave with a tangible reminder that you’re capable of making something good.
We can’t wait to meet you at a workshop soon!
