Wednesday Night Workshop: Gelli Plate Printing

In the famous words of Queen B - I don’t think you’re ready for this Gelli (plate) is a playful print making workshop facilitated by artist Yaz Gaté for our first Wednesday Night Workshop for 2023. Participants will have the opportunity to use Gelli plates, paper, magazines and an array of print making materials to create their very own pieces of art to take home - all while sipping on a drink and grazing on tasty treats with other creatives. This workshop is suitable for beginners.

Suitable for those aged 18+. All materials provided.

About your teaching artist

Melbourne-based Yaz Gaté, née del Mar, is founder of Tiny Cupboard Creatives - a small enterprise providing exciting in-home studio and virtual classes, workshops and events for learners of all ages, as well as commissioned artwork and creative collaborations with other artists and organisations such as The Tarra Warra Museum of Art, The City of Greater Dandenong and the Philippine Embassy of Australia.

Yaz specialises in canvas and digital art but has a wide practice that includes textiles and sewing, lino printing and drawing. She has a strong interest in botanicals, their connection to cultural identity and the way culture and life stories shape art making. Over the last two years, she has drawn on her own Filipino Australian background to explore the way migration and family can impact storytelling in art. Yaz typically uses bold black lines and vibrant colour palette making her work distinctive.
