About this event

Come and discover printing with nature in a spontaneous, fun and experimental way. Using natural materials like leaves, fresh and dried foliage, feathers and more, you'll create expressive, one of a kind prints, using a reusable printing plate with a sensitive surface to accentuate texture and details. In this introduction to the basic methods of gel plate printing you will learn how to also enhance your prints using masks and stencils and then transfer your print onto paper. The beauty of gel plate printing is that it’s perfect for all ages and levels of ability. All materials that you need are provided although if you wish you may bring leaves, flat plant material, feathers found from your garden or walks that would help add a personal touch and sense of place element to your prints.

Please bring an overall/apron.

As an event attendee, you will be eligible for free parking.

Norfolk Wildlife Trust is the oldest Wildlife Trust in the country. The purchase of 400 acres of marsh at Cley on the north Norfolk coast in 1926 to be held ‘in perpetuity as a bird breeding sanctuary’ provided a blueprint for nature conservation which has now been replicated across the UK. Our vision for Norfolk: where the future of wildlife is protected and enhanced through sympathetic management and people are connected with and inspired by Norfolk’s wildlife and wild spaces.
