Print with Nature Workshop with artist Caroline Houchell

Come and discover a way of printing with nature in a spontaneous, fun and experimental way.

Using natural materials like leaves, fresh and dried foliage, you will create expressive, one of a kind prints, using a 10 x 8 inch soft mineral based 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 will be provided but if you wish you may bring leaves, flat plant material, feathers etc found from your garden or walks that would help add a personal touch and sense of place element to your prints.

Please bring an apron or an old shirt.

Morning tea and pastries provided, whilst you while away the hours in our gorgeous barn and gardens creating your own beautiful print to take home.
