Livestream on 1st July 2026
I know exactly what it's like to be a complete gel printing beginner, I saw a video, got excited and I bought a gel plate.
And then ... it just sat in its packaging for months. When I finally worked up the courage to start, my prints were muddy, or my paint dried too fast.
This is the class I wish I had watched when I was starting out.
If you’ve ever felt:
Frustrated by muddy prints that don’t lift properly
Confused about what colours to use or how to layer
Overwhelmed by choices and unsure where to even begin
Like you’re “missing something” that everyone else knows...
You're not alone. And you're not doing anything wrong.
Stop Overthinking & Start Printing is here to help you understand why your prints aren't working and how to create cleaner, more soulful results using what you already have.
my prints used to look like this
... and now they look like this
... and this!

My name is Tania Ahmed, and I'm a serial gel printer and mixed media artist with over 13 years in the art and craft industry.
I'm a proud Gelli Arts® Brand Ambassador, six-time returning faculty for Wanderlust, and I've taught for Sketchbook Revival, twice for Gel Printer's Summit, Get Messy, and Altenew Academy to name a few of my collaborations. I've taught thousands of students internationally: because I know exactly what it's like to be an overwhelmed beginner.
My courses are the culmination of everything I've learned through trial and error, deep research, and making thousands of gel prints.

This was an excellent course. Tania is a very good teacher who explains things well. She is really generous with content and examples. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot.
Tania is a great instructor, explaining everything in a precise & easy way to understand. She is personable & has a great sense of humor & smile! She makes learning fun- and I learned a lot of neat things.
The Gel Print Academy was an excellent starting point into my gel printing experience.Tania explains the process in an easy to follow matter and encourages you practice and not give up. I loved it!
Gel Print Academy is an interactive course that has something for everyone, from beginners to experienced printmakers. Tania is thorough, knowledgeable and generous with her time as she explains all things gel printing, demonstrating techniques and best practices in a fabulous online community. Tania provides valuable feedback to students throughout the lessons and always makes sure everyone's questions are answered. I highly recommend this course.
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!
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!
