A wonderful day in Liskeard with 13 fabulous ladies exploring the magic of gelli plate printing!
After spending the morning experimenting with colour, texture, layering and mark-making, we transformed our unique hand-printed papers into beautiful 3D birds and butterflies. What I love most is that every single creation was completely different — each one reflecting its maker’s personality, imagination and creative spirit.
There is something so joyful about taking a sheet of printed paper and watching it come to life as a colourful bird or butterfly. Thank you to everyone who came along, embraced the process and filled the room with creativity, laughter and inspiration.
Which bird would you choose to take home?

Yesterday’s workshop was full of colour, creativity and experimentation as 13 lovely ladies explored the magical world of gelli plate printing
Layers of paint, texture, botanical details and playful mark-making came together to create beautifully unique prints — each one completely different and full of personality. There’s something so joyful about the freedom of printing and not quite knowing what will emerge next!
This reel captures some of the experimental printing process… but the real transformation is still to come 👀
Next up: turning these prints into beautiful 3D birds and butterflies 🕊️🦋

Exploring pattern, storytelling, and playful mark-making this week in our Folk Art Inspired Illustrative Workshop with another delightful group of Intern students at @oncoursesw
Using vintage book papers as our canvas, we created bold illustrative creatures, butterflies and whimsical shapes layered with intricate patterns and line work.
I love how every piece developed its own personality — expressive, joyful and completely unique. A wonderful reminder that creativity doesn’t need to be perfect to be powerful.

An evening of creativity, connection and experimentation with a wonderful team from Medical Physics, Derriford Hospital
We explored Geli plate printing, layered botanical textures, expressive abstract marks and vibrant colour combinations — with every print completely unique. It was such a joy to see everyone relax, play, laugh and discover their creative side through the process.
Creative workshops like these are such a lovely way to encourage wellbeing, communication and team connection away from the workplace 💙
