Meet The Gelli Plate

​In this class you will learn all about the gelli plate: how to apply paint to the plate, how to pull a great print, what materials can be used on the plate and how to care for and store your plate. We will run through a series of exercises designed to show you how you can use your plate to create beautiful art. Plus, I will be there live to answer any troubleshooting questions.

​A recording will be sent out to all participants within 48 hours of the class.

​materials needed:

​a gelli plate (I use a 5 x 7 or 8 x 10 plate.) Please DO NOT use a Speedball Gel Plate.

​an assortment of acrylic paint. I like Amsterdam in an assortment of transparent and opaque colors. Bring colors that make you happy! (No "open" paint due to long drying time.)

​a SOFT rubber brayer.

​Printer paper is the best paper to use when learning.

​A magazine or art journal to offload extra paint.

​baby wipes or a rag / paper towel and canola oil to clean your plate.

​a q-tip

​washi tape or masking tape or blue tape

​optional: gloves, if you don't want to get your hands dirty.
