Create Large Scale Gelli Print Collage Artwork on Canvas
In this Foundation Class, we'll take gel printing to a larger scale, transforming a collection of beautiful handmade prints into a finished mixed media artwork on canvas.
I'll guide you through creating your gel prints, choosing a cohesive colour palette, and arranging your papers to build a strong composition. We'll explore layering and the elements of design as the artwork develops, before bringing everything together with a professional finish ready to hang on the wall.
Whether you're ready to move beyond individual prints or simply want to explore working on a larger canvas, this class will show you how your collection of gel prints can become something truly spectacular.

What Will You Learn?
Studio Reflection
Sometimes creativity asks us to take up a little more space.
Working on a larger scale can feel intimidating, but it also gives us room to explore, experiment, and make bolder creative decisions. Trust what you've learned, embrace the process, and allow your artwork to grow one layer at a time.
Who Is This Class For?
This Foundation Class is perfect for anyone wanting to transform their own gel plate prints into a large-scale abstract collage on canvas.
Whether you're a complete beginner or already have a growing collection of gel prints waiting to be used, I'll guide you step by step through the entire process with clear demonstrations and practical advice.
You'll learn how to organise your prints, make confident compositional decisions, and combine your papers into a finished artwork that feels cohesive and expressive.
Above all, I hope this class gives you the confidence to look at that pile of prints and see the possibility of a finished artwork waiting to be created.

Sneak Peak - How to Organise Your Gel Prints
I love Froyle! She is a fabulous teacher. Not only does she explain what to do, showing examples along the way ... she explains WHY! She goes above and beyond teaching the skills, but she guides you into thinking why you do what you do. She is funny and very engaging. She clearly has a passion for what she is teaching and her excitement is contagious! This class was extremely thorough with step by step instructions from start to finish! Thank you, Froyle!

“Absolutely loved this class. The teacher, Froyle Davies, was an amazing instructor. She was so passionate about her subject and her enthusiasm was contagious. Loved her final piece and hopefully by the time I am finished I will feel the same about mine. The class itself was incredibly comprehensive and covered a range of topics from the basics of collage to finishing your art work. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in using/creating gelli prints to make a collage. Froyle is an excellent instructor and I am so glad I took her class”.
