Public: $40.00 +HST

Gel plate printmaking! On November 13 please join Sustainable Landscape Designer and Therapeutic Horticultural Practitioner Joanne Mohan from Parklane Landscapes to explore the artform of gel plate printmaking. Throughout the growing season, Joanne has been collecting/drying petals and leaves to ink and press on paper using a gel plate. Gel plate printmaking is a modern, non-toxic and latex free take on traditional gelatin printmaking and requires no printing press. Participants will create a series of monoprints, which are single, one-of-a-kind artworks.
All materials are included.
About the Instructor:
Joanne Mohan joined Parklane in 2011 as a Landscape Designer. As she grew up in a family landscape construction and garden centre business in Ireland, she has an appreciation for the family business dynamic. Joanne completed a degree in Property Economics, a Master in Landscape Architecture, and a certificate in Ecology in Ireland and has brought this knowledge and experience to Parklane. Joanne worked in Ireland as a landscape designer, completing projects for both residential and commercial clients, and maintaining an Integrated Constructed Wetland. She considers the use of plants as an important aesthetic element in a garden and encourages the use of native and naturalized planting schemes to ensure a balance between the garden’s ecology and environment.
Joanne is also a therapeutic horticultural practitioner, offering educational programs to homeowners, youth, and seniors on topics such as plant therapy, climate-resilient gardening, and sustainable practices that promote a healthier environment through plants and our gardens. She understands the value of both, and how they benefit us mentally, physically, and socially. Joanne encourages everyone to engage with plants, acknowledging that even a small container with one or two plants can provide therapeutic value in our daily lives.
