DISCOVERY DAY – GEL PLATE PRINTING
Discovery Day is a brand new way for you to be creative at MADE in East Lothian.
Using our materials and kits, this is a time for you to get messy in our studio, making, creating and having fun.
Discovery Day is mindful time and space for you to experiment and play.
You are invited to join Fiona in the studio to explore and get splodgy with gelli plates. Gel plate printing is AWESOME. You must try it.
If you came along to one of Kate’s fabulous workshops last season, Discovery Day was created with you in mind. Be reinspired. Share your learning with others. Beginners welcome too!
Fiona will demonstrate the basics, the rest of the session is untutored … it’s over to you to create your own unique textures, patterns and colour combinations. Find your own passion. You might want to use flowers or leaves or shells … there are endless possibilities.
Suitable for age 16+. Beginners welcome. Materials and printing inspirations will be available but you’re welcome to bring your own.
About your tutor : Fiona Lambert
The MADE Arts Hub was founded in 2016 by four creative women, including myself. We initially came together to share workspace and ideas. Creativity lies at the heart of my personal journey to MADE. I graduated in interior design, then worked for design studios in Glasgow and London before moving back to Edinburgh to set up my own design business. I combined this with teaching in further education. I also founded a collective of independent designers, taking part in several group exhibitions. Inspired by the local social enterprise network, I was awarded a place on the Social Innovation Programme run by The Melting Pot in Edinburgh. This gave me the skills to set up REdesign the following year. My natural instinct to collaborate with other creative people led to the formation of MADE in East Lothian.
