"I had a really enjoyable time learning a new process I haven’t done before. Clare was an excellent tutor guiding me and the other students with her expertise in making the technique accessible to a beginner in Gelli printing. Her tuition has made me confident enough to try it at home. I will look out for other courses she has to offer and would certainly recommend her to friends and family."

"I'm really pleased that you enjoyed the workshop Helen. Your layered prints looked fantastic and I have enjoyed seeing how you have gone on to develop these further with your beautiful illustrations. I look forward to seeing you on another workshop in the future."

Jayne M reviewed: Gelli Plate Printing - Experimenting with Image transfer with Clare Cosens

"An informative and fun couple of hours. Clare shared her knowledge and experience, allowing us to play and achieve satisfying progress and prints with this tricky image transfer technique, that none of us had been successful in achieving by ourselves. It was satisfying and I left with the confidence to play and try some more. "

Clare Cosens Designs responded:

"I'm so pleased to hear that you came away from my workshop with the confidence to try again at home. Your prints looked amazing, I loved the the combination of colours that you used. Feel free to send pictures of future prints, I love to see how people get on. Happy Printing!"

Anne W. reviewed: Gelli Plate Printing Workshop by Clare Cosens

"Clare's Gelli Printing course was a gift from a friend and we both attended. What a fantastic gift! Even though I love art and craft I had never heard of Gelli printing before. It was all new and Clare was an amazing teacher, very patient and encouraging. She was also kind enough to allow me to return the next day to pick up a couple of prints that I'd inadvertently left behind. We're hoping to attend more of Clare's courses in future."

Clare Cosens Designs responded:

"I'm really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the workshop. Many thanks for your kind words and I look forward to seeing your again in the near future."
