Q&A for Gelli Plate Printing: Textures, Layers & Creative Freedom Workshop
Q: What is Gelli Plate printing?
A: Gelli Plate printing is a fun and versatile monoprinting technique that allows you to create unique prints using a gel-like plate. It requires no press, making it accessible to all creatives.
Q: Who is this workshop for?
A: This workshop is perfect for all creatives—from beginners to advanced—who want to play, explore, and create. Whether you're a mixed-media artist, journaling, or just curious about printmaking, this session is for you!
Q: What will I learn in this workshop?
A: You’ll explore:
Mark making – Experiment with tools to create expressive patterns.
Stamping & texture techniques – Use found objects and handmade tools.
DIY texture plates – Craft your own from foam, cardboard, and masking materials.
Layering & composition – Build rich, multi-dimensional prints.
Q: Do I need prior experience in printmaking?
A: Not at all! This workshop is designed for both beginners and experienced artists looking to expand their creative practice.
Q: What should I bring?
A: Just bring yourself and a playful spirit, ready to experiment! All essential materials—including Gelli Plates, paints, and texture tools—will be provided. However, if you’d like to personalize your prints, feel free to bring your own leaves, textured fabrics, or stencils. You may also want to bring an art journal or sketchbook to incorporate your prints into future projects. Don’t forget to bring an apron or wear old clothes, as Gelli printing can get messy!
