Susan reviewed: Create with a gel printing plate in Derbyshire

"Hello. What a fun and inspiring day we had yesterday. We four friends booked a day with Liz to do her gel printing workshop hoping to be able to transfer our new skills to our textile work. Liz is a skilled tutor who broke down the steps of this new technique to us and we all said made us see new pathways in our art explorations. The environment in her studio was warm and inviting. Thank you for a wonderful day and we hope to see Liz on another workshop. "

Liz Wellby - Artist, Teacher & Maker responded:

"Hi Susan, Good to hear from you and thank you for telling me about your time here at the studio. I had such a great day working with you all. You were all so interesting and engaged, which makes for a lovely working atmosphere. There’s so much potential for using gel printing with textiles, so I’m sure you’re going to love your investigations. Happy printing Liz Wellby"

Sarah J-D reviewed: Create with a gel printing plate in Derbyshire

"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 ;-)"

Liz Wellby - Artist, Teacher & Maker responded:

"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"
