  • “Gelli printing is an amazing way to be creative, it pushes you to be spontaneous and is very freeing as you cant be in complete control of the finished outcome. We had some lovely surprise results. Seeing everyone busily creating beautiful prints was like some kind of magic, and there was something very satisfying about being able to see the finished results results quickly. I feel like this is a fantastic activity for anyone of any age to be creative, and I will definitely be doing it again, Thank you Ellen," - Heidi, Batheaston.”

  • “I had the pleasure of attending a workshop called Gelli plate printing Botanicals with the talented artist Ellen Tovey and it was such a fantastic experience. It was refreshing to take time out of my busy routine and immerse myself in the creative world of Gelli printing. Ellen was brilliant she provided all the materials ,so all you had to do was show up, making it super easy to join. She guided us through the process step by step, building layers and experimenting with colours, which everybody thoroughly enjoyed. I created some prints I was proud of, experimented with techniques, made some gift cards , and had lovely conversations with others in the group.This workshop was not just about learning a new skill but also it was an exercise in mindfulness. Ill definitely be getting a kit and continuing to play with everything I learned. Thank you so much Ellen, it was a joy! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a creative and calming activity.” - Slavenka
