Introduction to Gelli Plate Printing Workshop Description - Discover the playful world of mono-printing in this Introduction to Gelli Plate Printing workshop.

Perfect for beginners and curious creatives alike, this hands-on session will guide you through the basics of creating vibrant, layered prints using a soft gel printing plate, acrylic paints, and everyday textures. During the workshop, you’ll learn how to roll out colour, build layers, and experiment with marks, patterns and found materials to create unique prints.

Gelli plate printing is wonderfully unpredictable - each pull of the print reveals surprising textures and combinations, making every piece one-of-a-kind. We’ll explore simple techniques such as creating backgrounds, using stencils and masks and transferring textures from everyday objects. By the end of the session, you’ll have a collection of your own prints that can be used for collage, art journaling, cards, or standalone artwork. All materials are provided, and no previous printmaking experience is required—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to experiment. This relaxed and supportive workshop is a great opportunity to try something new, get creative with colour and texture, and enjoy the satisfying process of printmaking.

All materials and instructions are included, plus refreshments.

Our Saturday art and craft club with our Children’s Coordinator Alison.

In this group we will be working on different projects or with a different medium each week, sometimes looking at different artists and taking inspiration from various sources. Great for those who want to create projects using inspiration and their imagination. Unfinished projects can be either taken home to complete or we can keep them until the child artist next joins us.

Example projects could include watercolours, sewing, printing, card making, drawing, pottery and lots more!

Our Drop in Crafts is available every day in the easter holidays, other than bank holidays.

We have a huge range of crafts for you to choose from such as pottery painting, needle felting, painting, weaving, elasticated bracelets, lino printing, notebooks to decorate, glass painting and more!

There’s something for everyone whether you are a family or a group of friends, adults only or children too,

We have delicious cakes, hot and cold drinks, theres a small selection of toys, books and games and there’s always colouring available too!

You are welcome to drop in and find a free table, or send us an email to reserve your space.

Arts Award Discover

At The Place Stamford we will be covering the discover award over 10 weeks, looking at different types of art, exploring inspirational artists, taking part in a variety of arts projects and completing out arts logs. Eight weeks will be with our Arts Award Teacher Katie completing the work towards the arts award, trying out new art skills, working on a final project and completing an arts award journal. The remaining weeks will be with our Children’s Coordinator Alison and will lay art and craft foundations to enable us to complete out Arts Award work.

The course will take place on 28th March, 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th March, 18th, 25th April and 2nd, 9th and 16th May. If you would like to join but will miss any of the sessions, get in touch and we can work around it to ensure your child meets all the goals.

Arts Award Discover is a nationally recognized, introductory-level Arts Award qualification for children and young people (ages 5 and up), managed by Trinity College London in association with Arts Council England. Participants create a personal "arts log" (portfolio) to evidence their creative experiences, including taking part in arts activities, researching an artist, and sharing their discoveries. It serves as a foundational award, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and confidence, and acts as a springboard to the higher-level Arts Award qualifications.

In this workshop children ages 13+ can make two silver rings.

We will start by measuring, cutting and soldering a single silver ring, adding texture before polishing it. We will then create a second ring which will be a wraparound style.
