Using nature and a few supplementary techniques you will learn how to create beautiful handmade prints using a gelatine or “gel” plate.  Have fun playing with print and creating your own mini collection.  Materials are provided and no experienced is required, but please bring a handful of gathered nature with you - such as different leaves, grasses, small stems (nothing thorny or spiky), to make your prints more personal.
