Gelli Printing Workshops

January 2023

I was asked to be part of the team to deliver Gelli printing workshop at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh as part of the Society of Scottish Artists 150th year exhibition.

Around 70 people bought tickets for the drop in workshops which we ran for 3 hours.
