Print & Pause

Print & Pause is a welcoming, hands-on creative experience designed to help you slow down, connect, and rediscover the joy of making through the playful art of gelli plate printing.
In our busy world, it’s easy to forget how calming and satisfying it can be to create with our hands.

Print & Pause offers a gentle invitation to take a break from the noise—no deadlines, no pressure, no prior art experience required. This is a relaxed drop-in session where you can experiment freely, follow your curiosity, and let the process guide you.

Gelli plate printing is a fun and accessible printmaking method that uses a soft gel-like surface, paint, and textured materials to create rich, layered artworks. It’s ideal for beginners and seasoned creatives alike, and every print is completely unique. Whether you stay for five minutes or a couple of hours, you’ll walk away with a handful of beautiful prints and the satisfaction of having made something by hand.

We provide all the materials—including gelli plates, paint, paper, tools, and plenty of inspiration—so all you need to bring is yourself. It’s perfect for anyone looking to:
Try something new

Relax through creative play
Explore colour, texture, and pattern
Reignite a sense of creative confidence
Spend some quality time solo or with friends

Print & Pause is open to all ages and abilities. Whether you’re looking for a mindful moment, a creative recharge, or just some low-key fun, you’re warmly invited to join us.
Take a breath. Make a print. Permit yourself to pause.
