Gelli Plate Printmaking with Kaili Woop

This workshop introduces students to gelli printing, a fun and experimental printmaking process that creates one-of-a-kind monotype prints without a press. Open to beginners and experienced artists alike, participants will explore foundational techniques on paper and textiles using gelli plates, while developing their own visual language through color, texture, layering, and mark-making.

Through demonstrations, guided prompts, hands-on experimentation, and group discussion, students will learn techniques including charcoal transfer, collagraphy, and Posca marker transfer. The class encourages both intentional design and spontaneous “happy accidents,” helping participants embrace creative risk-taking and enjoy the process of making.

By the end of the workshop, students will leave with a collection of finished prints on paper, a custom printed tote bag, and a deeper understanding of how gelli printing can be used for both fine art and functional applications. No prior art or printmaking experience is required.
