In 8 Weeks, Learn to Gel Print With Confidence and Create Soulful Prints Inspired by Your Story
I know exactly how it feels:
⋆ I bought a gel plate and didn't open it for months.
⋆ I was overwhelmed by gel printing: too many techniques, supplies, and conflicting advice.
⋆ I kept getting muddy, disappointing prints and felt like I was “doing it wrong.”
⋆ I had perfection-itis, and scared that my art wasn't good enough.
⋆ I didn’t know how to use gel printing in a meaningful way to express myself, my style and my story.
⋆ I felt a disconnect between my inner voice and my art, and longed to make something that actually mattered to me.
⋆ Deep down, I doubted myself and wondered if my creativity really counted.
The gel print that changed it all
A tired beige onesie that my daughter had long outgrown, with an irreparable hole, stained, beyond donating or saving as a keepsake.
I gel printed with it and for me it was the perfect way to memorialise a much loved piece of my daughter's life.
It took me down the rabbit hole of making art that represented more of my stories, my memories, honouring my culture and history through gel printing.
This is why I created Story Printer: turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. An invitation to preserve and honour yourself and your stories through gel printing.
One of the best on-line courses I have experienced
Joy in creativity, joy in letting go of perfectionism, joy in the sheer messiness of dabbling in paint, joy in community. Tania takes you on a journey where you discover what to do with that gel plate you bought with every good intention and also rediscover your inner child - the one that made something, looked at it and was happy. With a wealth of ideas and techniques, and an ever-present bubbling undercurrent of enthusiasm, she makes this one of the best on-line courses I have experienced. Hooked on gel printing? ~ you bet!

Class Starts 4th September!
Story Printer is the bridge from frustration and self-doubt → to joyful, confident, soulful gel printing.
It’s not just about making better prints. It is about seeing yourself differently:
⋆ your experiences are part of the art and process.
⋆ your voice is worthy of being heard.
⋆ your stories matter.
Does this sound like you?
Muddy, patchy prints: paint dries fast, details aren’t crisp, lifts fail.
New and confused: your results don’t match the pretty videos and tips contradict.
Plate still unopened: worried you’ll waste paint or ruin it.
What do I use?: unsure about paints, papers, tools, timing, and layering order.
Colour & composition: things clash or look flat; brayer lines, incomplete ghost pulls.
Limited time/space: want quick wins and a low-mess setup.
Mindset wobbles: struggle with perfection-itis, imposter syndrome; and you want prints with meaning that reflect you.
“Now what?”: need simple projects (journals, cards, gifts) and ways to use sentimental objects.
You want: a short kit list you can source locally, step-by-steps with troubleshooting, a kind community, and repeatable results.
If you’re nodding, Story Printer was made for you, clear lessons, soulful prints, zero overwhelm.
I take all the mystery out of gel printing for you through structured weekly, livestreamed lessons!

No longer intimidated by Gel Printing
Yes, I learned a LOT and as a result I'm motivated to continue to play with my gel plate on my own in new and inventive ways! You "demystified" my gel printing experience. I had played with it a good bit before this course, but because of the course I'm no longer intimidated by it and look forward to every session I spend with it!
