About the tutor

Retirement from a teaching career allowed Christine to explore creativity in many media including watercolour, soft and oil pastels and weaving. She discovered gel printing 10 years ago and has had fun creating beautiful prints on paper and fabric. One of the characteristics of this process is its unpredictability which leads to exciting results.

Christine has run gel printing classes at Louis Joel Community Arts Centre and enjoys the fun of working and sharing the process with others.
