Seaside Treasures: Gelli Plate Printing Workshop

£48 materials provided

Local artist Jane Fellows will be teaching a workshop on how to create beautiful prints using the gelli plate printing method. Drawing inspiration from a collection of beach treasures, you will get the chance to experiment with leaves, feathers, seaweed, and other found objects to recreate the captivating textures and colours of nature.

During the workshop, you will learn how to apply ink to your gel plate to achieve the correct consistency. You will also explore layering techniques to create fascinating shapes and patterns in your final prints. By the end of the session, you will have the opportunity to transform your designs into prints or greeting cards to take home with you.

While leaves, seaweed, and feathers will be provided, you are welcome to bring some of your own. A flat leaf or feather with an interesting shape and veined texture is preferred. A variety of sizes and shapes will make a pleasing composition. Please note that objects with sharp edges are not allowed as they may damage the gelli plate.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist looking to try new techniques, this course is suitable for everyone. No drawing skills are required.

To book, please contact Jane: [email protected] or 07748314586

A major exhibition of work by Jac’s Jac Jones, artist, illustrator and author at Storiel promises to be inspiring and surprising.  Jac’s images are known to thousands of families across Wales – the Jac y Jwc character he created for the Sali Mali series of books or artworks for classic children’s books such as Lleuad yn Olau and Y Trysorfa to name but a few. Others might be surprised to see Jac’s artistic works in LP covers and theatre posters. For over fifty years, Anglesey born Jac has, and continues to, create artistic work of the highest standard; whether for children’s books,  LP covers, theatre productions or television programmes.   His work is familiar and yet this is a rare opportunity to see his artisty up-close in a gallery.  On display will be sketch books, story boards, familiar characters and less well known artworks.  Together, they demonstrate Jac’s talent - he could turn his hand to any style that was required that would produce the best result – a real testament to his creativity, skill and imagination.
