This workshop is only available to people who have attended my Gelatin Plate Monoprinting in-person workshop or online workshop; it is an extension to the approach I teach in those workshops, further exploring this deliciously beautiful and fun process.
So … are ready to take a more intentional approach to your gel plate monoprinting? In this one day workshop you will continue to print with found and organic objects but learn how to think ahead with your layers to create more planned and intentional images.
I will share new sequences to add to your own repertoire of sequences and playful approaches with this process.
We will still print with a playful approach to thoroughly enjoy the process, layering in some intentional printing. But be warned – we still work with an element of “release the attachment to the outcome” 🙂
If you haven’t printed with gel plates before, or want to learn about the layered approach I work with, with botanicals, consider attending my Gel Plate Monoprinting workshop. If you can’t make the in-person workshop, I have taken the in-person lessons online, where I share the process and more.
This workshop will build on the basics of gelatin plate printing, in particular what we covered in my Gelatin Plate Monoprinting workshop.
From that starting point – we will take a more intentional approach to the process, intentionally selecting and printing colours, and work with the intentional placement of found objects.
We’ll discuss design principles, balance and contrast – all with the view to help you take a more intentional approach to your gel plate monoprinting.
If you’re feeling adventurous – bring your own home made plate to the workshop and we will have some experimental fun with that plate too!
All necessary materials for this workshop are covered in your Materials Fee.
– gelatin plate and paper for printing
– paints, stencils and objects to create your printed designs
– paints, rollers and other printmaking supplies needed to prepare and print your prints
– tea and coffee, with a light morning and afternoon tea
Everything you need for this workshop is included and provided.
If you’re feeling adventurous – bring your own home made plate to the workshop and we will have some experimental fun with that plate too!
Bring along any prints from your own collection that you want to replicate and/or want to work out how you created them!
Please bring your own lunch. You can pop into town to buy lunch, but it is a few minutes drive and parking can be difficult (Maleny is a popular weekend destination). Therefore I recommend you bring your lunch and maximise the time you have printing and learning in the studio.
Bring a journal or notebook for taking notes during the workshop.
Participants are advised to wear closed in shoes, and suitable clothing or apron that you do not mind getting paint on. The paints can set permanently on fabric.
In this workshop we will print with water based acrylic paints, so wash up will use soap and water.

When I leave Kim’s workshops I can’t wait to practice everything new I have learned, and there is always some knew knowledge and technique to take home and experiment with. Kim is always willing to share and encourage.

Choosing to play and print with leaves and botanicals from the garden is fun and imaginative. Choosing colours to blend and print that bring added surprise is even better. A highly recommended class with Kim as an expert teacher.

Loved the workshop and especially liked being able to think with my brain and play according to my heart! New techniques to add to my artistic repertoire are always wonderful to have and can lead you in new areas of discovery.
