Gelli printing workshop

Pictures from our session on a chilly Sunday morning, we had fun Gelli plate printing using leaves and grasses. Julia gave us a workshop on the process, and Karen provided the Gelli plates and rollers. Everyone produce a good body of prints to take home at the end of the session. The great thing about the gatherings is everyone pitches in, are generous and supportive and of course exchange ideas. A new process for most and Gelli plate manufacturers just got a few new customers!

First meeting of the 'Creatives Club'

Today Eight of us became the founder members of the Creatives Club. I had chosen a bank holiday to meet up so because of prior plans a lot of people couldn’t make it. I have had over 40 expressions of interest in joining. As it turns out 8 was a great number for our initial meeting, everybody introduced themselves, with a strict brief to be brief. We had a quick overview of our varying interests and what we can achieve in future weeks. As we discovered, each one of us needs to carve out time and space to create, and in a supportive group it’s a lot easier. A bit of business networking went on too!

Some members brought in work, all of which was fab, and immediately we realised that everyone had some new skill, or technique to share. These skills easily lend themselves to future making meetings.

Last but not least everyone screen printed a mini membership card on pre prepared watercolour washed paper. A card to flash if they are ever stopped by anyone doubting their creativity.
