Workshop

The Rockfield Centre has a fund available to support those who may not otherwise be able to attend our workshops. Please contact arts@therockfieldcentre.org.uk for more information.

In this three-hour long workshop, participants will use a gelatin (gel) plate, with simple tools to produce a series of one-off prints (monotypes), both spontaneous and planned.

By the end of the workshop, participants should feel confident enough to use and experiment with the gel plate printmaking technique in their own environments.
