Sorrento Italy! Lemons and Leaves on the Gel Plate–Tutorial Tidbits

Sorrento Italy, September 6-12, 2026

https://stradatoscana.com/retreats/el...

Join me in 2026 for an unforgettable all-inclusive mixed media collage workshop in Sorrento, Italy!

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to gel print botanicals using fresh lemon and olive leaves to create colorful collage papers. You’ll also hear a bit about my Paper Paintings Sorrento 2026 Workshop and meet my Italian tour coordinator, Pamela Haack from Strada Toscana.

This truly is the trip of a lifetime—and everything is included! Your art supplies, delicious meals, sightseeing, excursions, a cooking lesson, a lemon grove visit, and so many unique Italian experiences. All you need to bring is your curiosity and sense of adventure.

I’ve been teaching in Italy with Strada Toscana for over a decade, and together we’ve created a smooth, inspiring, and worry-free experience.
