ABOUT THIS COURSE

Gelli plate printing is a very versatile print technique, a form of monoprinting that uses a soft, flexible gel plate to create layered prints. Paint is rolled onto the plate, textures or images are added or removed, and paper is pressed on top to pull a print, capturing spontaneous marks, layers, and unexpected effects.

A Beginner’s Guide to Gelli Plate Printing is an accessible, self paced, hands-on introduction to the creative and playful world of monoprinting. Containing over 2 hours of video tuition this course covers essential skills, tools, and materials—including gel plates, paints, paper choices, and proper plate care—so you can start printing with confidence.

You’ll learn foundational techniques, explore opacity and transparency in acrylic paints, and create layered textures through simple, approachable projects. Along the way, you’ll gain ideas for finishing and framing your prints and find inspiration to continue experimenting beyond the class. Perfect for beginners, this course emphasizes curiosity, experimentation, and discovering your own creative voice through gelli printing.
