Step into a playful, intuitive creative experience where texture, color, and imagination come together.
In this hands-on workshop, Gelli Print expert, Michelle, and Works from the heART owner, Ashley, are teaming up to bring you the magic of gelli plate printing — a simple yet mesmerizing process of creating layered prints using acrylic paint, texture tools, botanicals, and found materials. You’ll build a collection of richly textured papers that will become the foundation for your final piece.
Once our prints are dry, we’ll shift into collage mode — tearing, cutting, and composing your own expressive animal artwork. Whether you’re drawn to woodland creatures, ocean life, birds, or something symbolic, your animal will emerge through layers of color and story.
