"Liz's Gel plate printing course was a revelation to me! As an experienced painter who was very out of practice with printmaking, this was the perfect course to re-ignite my curiosity and enthusiasm for it. Liz's spacious, light-filled studio is super well organised and Liz herself is refreshingly upbeat and a joy to learn from. Her knowledgeable instruction took me where I needed to go artistically and as her only student that day I felt even more special as she tailored her lesson to suit my many, many questions about everything from printing equipment to design and colour choices. I can't wait to try this new medium in my artistic practice and I've already booked the advanced course scheduled a few months from now! I would highly recommend this course to any artist who would like to broaden their artistic practice or even to a beginner, as Liz's many years of teaching experience gives her the ability to make learning fun, whatever your level of skill. I'm determined to get a lil cuddle from her unbelievably gorgeous studio cat Bert next time ;-)"

" Hi Sarah,
I have a huge smile on my face, as I tap out my reply to you.
Thank you for taking the time and putting so much thought into your feedback - I really appreciate it.
You are clearly going to find gel plate printing a really useful addition to your already extensive skill set. It’s a great process for a warm up, it will also help provide decisions re colour and pattern for your painting, plus you’ll be able to create a range of prints pieces that complement your paintings and explore ideas at speed.
I’m looking forward to working with you again a little later in the year, to try out your larger plate.
Best wishes
Liz Wellby"
