There is just something so deeply satisfying about creating art from the core of who you are as a person.

“I LOVED this class...and I don't even own a Gelli plate. :-) Lots of thoughts shared that can apply to many creative endeavors. Very inspiring, motivating and energetic teacher”
Kara Woodruff
“This course is one of the best I've taken on Skill Share! I'm a digital collage artist, exploring more traditional methods, and a friend suggested Gelli plates. Froyle was SO FUN to listen to, and her videos are professionally done at a speed you can get. I can't wait to get to mine!”
Lisa McKenna
“Great class, I learned so much and was able to follow along with the instructions and created some beautiful prints!” Teressa Fernandez
“I thought this class was excellent. I have been creating monoprints with gel plates for many years and I still learned some really useful tips and tricks from Froyle. Her enthusiasm is contagious and I look forward to taking another of her classe”
Julie Steed
This is an awesome class and I highly recommend it. Gelli printing achieves such awesome results—even for beginners. Froyle has such an upbeat style and great sense of humor. I will be taking more of her classes.
Lorianne
“The entire idea from start to finish is fabulous! I love starting with a limited pallet, then going on to make dozens of prints, then collecting them all in a recycled journal. I have a few dozen shoe catalogs that I can repurpose. I can't wait to get started! This class exceeded my expectations!”
Susan Ford
