This is not a traditional art class. It is a welcoming, supportive space for people—especially those who feel they are “not artistic”—to relax into making, let go of perfection, and reconnect with their own creative intuition. It is an accessible, process-based printmaking workshop designed to build confidence, creativity, and connection.

Using gel plate printing, natural materials, layered textures, and simple mark-making, participants are guided into a calm, absorbing creative process that feels much like meditation in action. No previous art experience is needed.

Unlike traditional lino or woodblock printing, gel plate printing is immediate, intuitive, and full of discovery. Leaves, ferns, stencils, textures, and layered colour are used to create one-of-a-kind prints—each one unique. The process encourages presence, playfulness, and trust in what emerges naturally.

It becomes less about “making art” and more about opening space for expression.

•  A real sense of creative confidence  
• A calming and grounding experience  
• A meditative creative practice they can return to  
• A collection of unique handmade prints to take home  
• A renewed relationship with their own creativity

Many participants leave surprised by what they are capable of creating. The most common feedback is that people feel inspired, empowered, and surprised by what they create.

This workshop is especially well suited to spaces that value mindfulness, wellbeing, and personal growth.

It complements yoga retreats, meditation centres, spiritual communities, and wellness programs by offering another pathway into presence and self-awareness—through making.
