Looking for creative things to do in Perth? Learn how to create colourful collages using handmade printed papers in this workshop with What The Craft!

Gel printing is a simple but highly addictive way to create colourful and unique prints and during this fun workshop, you will experiment with a gel plate to make a stack of prints using stencils, found objects, mark making and layering.

You will be surprised by how easy it is to get amazing results with a set of simple materials. Your experienced and friendly teacher will show you some basic techniques to get you started. But there is no right or wrong - just let your creative juices flow!

Gel printing is a type of mono printing used by many mixed media artists to create the materials for their pieces. The great thing about it is that it is very easy to make a gel plate yourself, with inexpensive materials. Your teacher will show you how to do this too!

During the second part of the workshop, you use the prints to make a collage out of simple repeating shapes. You will find many interesting textures and patterns that you will transform in to a great piece of paper art to take home.

After this workshop you will be inspired to continue creating prints for journaling, scrapbooking and whatever your crafty heart desires.
