Gelli Plate Printing   

You will learn the basics of using a “Gelli” plate to create amazing, one-of-a-kind, papers. These papers lend itself beautifully as stand-alone pieces of artwork, collage papers, used in bookmaking as well as card making. The possibilities are endless.

Prints can be made on most any types of paper such as rice paper, mixed media, watercolor, book pages, junk mail, and the list goes on and on. You will learn just how many things you can recycle in doing this artwork. You will never look at paper the same way. You will want to create so many different papers that you will want to make yourself a book or journal from the pages you create (advanced class coming). The instructor will discuss and demonstrate a variety of techniques.
