Ways of using a Gelli plate for printing
1. Use a Gelli Plate to Print a Monoprint: Start by adding a thin layer of paint to the surface of the plate. Use a brayer to spread it out evenly. Place a piece of paper over the paint and use your hands to rub it gently. Lift the paper up to reveal a unique print.
2. Use a Gelli Plate to Create a Background: Spread a thin layer of paint onto the plate and then use a brayer to roll it out. Place a stencil on top, and then use a brayer to roll over it. Peel the stencil away to reveal a unique print.
3. Use a Gelli Plate to Create a Collage: Start by adding a thin layer of paint to the surface of the plate. Use a brayer to spread it out evenly. Place a stencil on top, and then use a brayer to roll over it. Peel the stencil away and add additional papers, photos, or embellishments to the print.
4. Use a Gelli Plate to Create Textures: Spread a thin layer of paint onto the plate and then use a brayer to roll it out. Place a texture plate on top and then use a brayer to roll over it. Peel the texture plate away to reveal a unique textured print.
5. Use a Gelli Plate to Create a Repeat Pattern: Start by adding a thin layer of paint to the surface of the plate. Use a brayer to spread it out evenly. Place a stencil or shape template on top, and then use a brayer to roll over it. Peel the stencil away and add additional shapes or details to create a repeat pattern.
