Students will use Gelli printing plates and the inks to make one of a kind monoprints. Unlike other printmaking techniques that print the same image every time, like stamps, every print will be unique. Students will study the texture of items going onto the plate to design the print and the texture it will actually print. This technique will also reinforce positive and negative space, which is not alway easy for all learners. Finished prints can be used for card making, collages or even framed as is. There is no other printmaking technique like Gelli plates.
