Gelli Plate Printmaking Workshops
Discover the magic of Gelli plate printing. Roll on paint, press textures, and peel back paper to reveal your own unique, abstract masterpiece.
A new craft alert at the studio: Gel printing. I guarantee once you start, you just cannot stop. The outcomes are always unpredictable and magical.
Print, print, print. We explore different materials and stencils in our print class. The process teaches us that it's okay to try again if we fail, and the surprises are always worth it.
The joy of creating a collage with your own hand-made prints is unmatchable. Here, we used our Gelli prints as a background to create a beautiful scene with a little red bird.
A child's mind is built to explore, play, and learn. In our Gelli printing sessions, we explore different textures and colors, creating beautiful, abstract prints.
I am so excited to introduce gel printing at the studio. The results are always fascinating and unique. Join us for a basics class to learn this magical technique.
About Exploring Printmaking
The beauty of Gelli printing is that you never quite know what you are going to get, and that is exactly why it is so much fun. You will layer textures, pull prints, and often end up with happy accidents that look better than any planned design. It is the perfect way to move from 'I cannot draw' to 'look at what I made' in just one session.
How Our Printing Workshops Work
Gelli plate printing is essentially a form of monoprinting. We use a soft, gelatin-like plate as our surface. You apply paint, press down various textures—like stencils, leaves, or even bubble wrap—and then lift the paper to reveal the design.
It is one of our favorite techniques because it is non-judgmental. There is no right or wrong way to do it. If you do not like the first pull, you simply add more paint and print again. It is incredibly popular for kids because it provides instant gratification and a deep sensory experience without the pressure of having to draw something specific.
What You Will Create
- Abstract Art: Learn to build complex layers of color and shape.
- Collage Backgrounds: Use your unique prints to create beautiful landscapes, birds, or patterns.
- Texture Studies: Discover how everyday objects transform into art when pressed into paint.
