I hope y’all have a great day. Get outside and enjoy that fresh air. But if you cannot get outside – try your hand at some Gelli Printing. (insert eye wink)

What is Gelli Printing?

Gelli Printing is a versatile and accessible form of mono printing that offers a creative and expressive outlet for artists of all skill levels. Unlike traditional printing methods that require a large and expensive press, Gelli Printing utilizes a portable and affordable alternative. The printing surface is made of gelatin-type substances, which provide a unique and responsive surface for creating captivating prints.

One of the key advantages of Gelli Printing is its ease of use. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a beginner just starting to explore the world of printmaking, Gelli Printing offers a user-friendly experience. The process involves applying layers of acrylic paint or printing ink onto the gelatin plate, using various tools such as brayers, stencils, and found objects to create textures and patterns. With a simple transfer technique, the image is then transferred onto paper or other substrates, resulting in stunning and vibrant prints.

Gelli Printing also allows for a high degree of experimentation and spontaneity. The gelatin surface is incredibly responsive, capturing the delicate details and subtle nuances of your artistic marks. The inherent unpredictability of the medium often leads to unexpected and delightful results, pushing the boundaries of your creativity and sparking new artistic directions.

Furthermore, Gelli Printing can be easily customized and personalized to suit your artistic vision. By incorporating different techniques and materials, such as stamping, mono-printing, collage, or even mixed media elements, you can create truly unique and captivating prints that reflect your individual style and artistic voice. The versatility of the medium allows for endless possibilities, enabling artists to explore and push their creative limits.

Whether you’re looking to create vibrant abstract compositions, intricate patterns, or realistic imagery, Gelli Printing offers a versatile and accessible avenue for artistic expression. It provides a tactile and engaging experience, allowing artists to explore texture, color, and form in a unique way.

So why wait? Dive into the exciting world of Gelli Printing and unleash your creativity today!

What tools do I need?

You only need a gelli plate, acrylic paint, and a brayer to get started! That is it!!
