Gelli Plates are made of a flexible, thick, single layer of a gelatin-like plastic material which contains mineral oil. These plates are durable, reusable and easily cleaned and are ideal for monoprinting without a press. There are many ways to use the Gelli plates to print – it really is all about working in an experimental, expressive, spontaneous and creative way.
Learn what paint works best for the methods, how to ink up and print with a Gelli Plate, how to plan for your layered printing. Create layered prints using drawing methods, transferred magazine or photographic images and use masks and cut shapes to add interest. By the end of the course you will have a good understanding of this new and exciting technique and will take home a small spiral-bound book of all your prints.
