Have you heard of gel plates, but aren’t sure of how to use them? Or maybe you’ve tried one, but need some more ideas and inspiration. Gelli plates are a fun, easy way to create an abundance of monoprints that can be used as stand-alone prints, collage fodder, book pages, and so much more! We’ll begin with the gel plate basics, including care and how to use them. Then we’ll explore different materials to use on your plate, how stencils can create amazing combinations of patterns, some fun image transfer ideas and discuss ways to use and store your prints.
Supplies to Bring:
A gelli plate (any shape or size up to 8×10), a brayer, any stencils you have.
Shared use supplies include:
Some craft acrylic paint (if you’d like to use a different acrylic paint you may bring your own), Copy paper and some other various papers, a few gel plates, brayers and stencils.

Molly Anthony is a writer and mixed-media artist and is also the co-facilitator for the MN Visual Journal Collective (a free monthly group for artists of all mediums hosted by Wet Paint). She loves exploring art in all forms and sharing her ideas with others, but through the pandemic and family struggles she learned the importance of using those practices for self-care. In her work and her teachings, she strives to embrace imperfection, focuses on process over product and is constantly looking for new ways to be curious about the world around her.
