Fun with Gelli Plate Prints - Easy Mixed-Media Printmaking by Sabine Ickler & Katrin Klink

Discover the colourful world of gelli plate printing and create unique designs using this super-simple technique!

The beauty of gelli plate printing is its simplicity – it's easy to get started, quick to clean up after use and suitable for painting enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. Using a gelli plate as a base – readily available to buy, or made from gelatine using the recipe in the book – the authors show you how to create your own striking monoprinted designs. Use your chosen paint to dab, stamp or stencil your designs, and make use of everyday household items, such as kitchen utensils or vegetables, as well as store-bought stamps, to create an infinite number of patterns and textures with minimal equipment and maximum impact. You can print your designs onto a variety of surfaces or objects, including paper, fabrics, metal and wood – even onto curved and uneven surfaces – giving you enormous scope to create your own collection of vibrant designs, perfect to decorate or use in your home, or to give as wonderful personalized gifts. Inside you will find a guide to all the tools and materials you need clearly explained, a broad range of techniques with full beginner-friendly guidance, an explanation of colour theory to put into practice within your own designs, 19 achievable projects together with many more inspirational variations and customizable ideas for creating your own uniquely printed pieces, and colourful photos to inspire your gelli plate printing journey.
