Create intriguing patterns using tools like sponges, textured rollers and homemade combs. | Printmaking is an art that puts many people off because they fear it's too complicated or that they'll have to invest a lot of money in fancy tools and supplies. And that is exactly why Gelli plate printing has quickly gained such a huge following; it's so basic and friendly, most people don't even remember that it IS printing or they didn't realize it all! Many books include projects using Gelli plates (including recently-released North Light book Acrylic Solutions), but this is the first book to focus on the Gelli plate process and to offer so many fun and cool techniques and projects. It comes directly from the most qualified talent to write the book Gelli Arts' co-founder Joan Bess. After an easy-to-follow introduction to the basics of Gelli printing, readers will be shown over 50 stepped-out techniques for using their Gelli plate, such as incorporating stamping, sponges and stencils, creating collage, faux chine colle, using ghost prints and much, much more. In addition, over 20 inspiring gallery artists will contribute finished art that uses the techniques.Product Identifiers
