"This workshop goes way beyond the basics of Gelli® printing and highlights how to create those gorgeous layers Roben-Marie style! I learned countless new techniques and created many beautiful papers which I will be able to add to my stash. The projects were so creative and fun and now I have a new place to store my prints. Roben-Marie's teaching style is so detailed and her approach so encouraging that you feel as if you are working alongside her. I would definitely recommend this creative class to students of all levels. This is a workshop which I will refer back to again and again for years to come." ~Susan Gallitto

"There are so many great ideas in your class to push my Gelli® prints further, and get me using colors I don't normally use. I am having so much fun experimenting. I also love that I have a portfolio to stash all the goodies. Love it, thanks for the class." ~Colleen
