Leanne Daquino

Instructor

I’m Leanne, a mixed media artist from Melbourne, Australia, who rediscovered her passion for all things creative only a couple of years ago. For the last twenty-five years, I have been working as a teacher and more recently as a Deputy Principal in a beautiful primary school. Education has always been a very important part of my life. I just love encouraging curiosity and the pursuit of what makes us feel alive. Gelli plate printing and collage are my favorite art forms. I love the spontaneity and unique, one-of-a-kind beauty that Gelli printing produces. It's easy to fall in love with the process and techniques I teach in this class. You'll be excited and inspired to create more once you see the vibrant prints and intricate collages come to life in front of your eyes. There are so many possibilities with Gelli printing, from creating beautiful papers to crafting stunning floral collages. Your creativity and ideas will be flowing in no time! See you inside :)
