I’ve really enjoyed the first couple of exercises from Sally-Anne Ashley for the ‘seeing more clearly’ week she’s running.
I was swimming early this morning entranced by the cloud filled skies which inspired me to start my ‘noticing what you notice’ pages … and I still have a head full of the Norman Ackroyd prints we saw in Bath last week - of those moody skies!!!

Then as our garden develops I’m increasingly obsessed by the plants growing up all around the shedstudio - I’ve long been a lover of leaves but this is playing right into this and taking it to the next level and don’t get me started on unfurling leaves …

Now I’m off to answer the journal prompts … BUT I’ve already had a little revelation that it’s the DIFFERENCES of all these beasties, whether cloud forms or leaf forms that I’m really drawn to and that gets me excited …

🎨 HUGE NEWS!
I’m so excited to announce that I’m teaching at the Gel Printers Summit 2026!

I’ll be joining 14 other incredible gelli plate artists from around the world to share our absolute best techniques.

I’ve taken the Summit twice in the past and found sessions to be so inspiring and informative - and I keep on revisiting the lessons as you get lifetime access.

This year, we are diving deep into intermediate and advanced skills to help you take your art to the next level.

In my lesson, “A Concertina Book of Explorations,” we will break free from comfortable patterns. We will deeply explore just one design element using everyday objects as mark-makers. I’ve also put together a super helpful handout packed with tips, mindset thoughts, and prompts so you can easily follow along!

Here is what makes this event so special:
The original online gel plate summit, now in its fourth year!
14 prerecorded lessons to watch at your own pace with lifetime access.
Next-level techniques you won’t find just scrolling social media.
Over 10,000 students have already jumped into these summits!

Doors officially open on September 16 for early bird discounted bookings (at €77 instead of full price €97) …but you can join the waitlist right now to save $10 when enrollment starts!

Just message VOUCHER below or pop into my DMs to let me know you’re interested (or with any questions) and I’ll send you the voucher directly with the booking link when early bird booking opens.

And if this is not your thing feel free to share this info to get the word out!!

I’ll be sharing some snippets from my lesson in the coming weeks but swipe to see a couple of images.

When you just can’t help yourself … a ‘what if…?’ pops into my head and before I know it the knife and cutting boards are out and I’m trying something out with my prints.
What I do know is that these ‘what if..?’ ideas don’t always work… but they are ALWAYS worth trying anyway because it teaches me something!
The jury is still out on this piece …

I frequently come back time and again to exploring layered botanical printing as the varieties of prints you can make from some simple plant materials are endless!
This time the colour palette was inspired by .art whose class on the Gelliprint Summit of 2023 was so inspirational and who I was lucky enough to meet recently at her open studios.
She was working her layers dark to light which gives such an effect of depth … and with new plants I’d collected from recent walks ready to play with I thought I’d have a go!
