Learn to Work with a Gelli Plate

Curious about the possibilities of a Gelli Plate? A Gelli Plate is a soft gel plate that allows you to create unique prints (monoprints) without a printing press. By working with acrylic paint on the plate, you can create surprising prints full of colour, texture and detail.

During this workshop, you’ll discover the image transfer technique. You’ll learn how to transfer photographs and images onto paper using a Gelli Plate, and how to achieve beautiful results with thin layers of paint, contrast and transparency. No two prints are the same, giving each one its own unique character.

This workshop is suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists. You’ll receive step-by-step guidance, with plenty of room to experiment.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll go home with several unique prints, a solid foundation in the image transfer technique, and the knowledge you need to continue exploring the possibilities of the Gelli Plate at home.
