Discover the Art of Advanced Gelli Plate Printing

When I started teaching Gelli plate printing 14 years ago, I used to tell my students, “If you want a tree here and a gate there, Gelli printing might not be for you—it's more of an experimental process for making collage papers.”
How wrong I was.
Over the years, I’ve pushed the boundaries of what’s possible with the Gelli plate—transforming it from a playful tool for background textures into a powerful medium for creating rich, layered, finished works of art. Through careful experimentation and refinement, I’ve developed techniques that allow for both complex, multi-layered one-pull prints and beautifully resolved final pieces.

This course is designed to take you beyond making papers for collage—into the realm of finished, fine art-standard Gelli prints.

Together, we’ll troubleshoot common challenges like:

• Paper sticking to the plate during multi-layer pulls

• Managing drying times between layers

• Creating balance and depth in your final compositions
  

What You’ll Get Inside the Course:

Three In-Depth Modules — Each module focuses on a specific advanced technique, with comprehensive, step-by-step tutorials to guide you through the process.
Build Your Confidence — You’ll learn how to refine your skills, avoid common mistakes, and develop your own unique artistic voice.
Creative Coaching Sessions on Zoom — Join a supportive, like-minded community for live sessions where you can share your work, ask questions, gain feedback, and solve problems together in a safe and encouraging space.

This is more than just a course—it’s a deep dive into the creative potential of Gelli printing. If you’re ready to evolve your process and create one-of-a-kind prints you’ll be proud to frame, I’d love to have you join us.
