MASTERING GEL PRINTING: A STEP- BY-STEP GUIDE JOSIE-LEWIS
WHAT IS GEL PRINTING? Gel printing is a monoprinting technique that uses a soft, flexible gel plate to create unique and layered prints. Unlike traditional printmaking methods that require a press, gel printing is easy, accessible, and requires minimal setup—making it perfect for artists of all skill levels. KEY FEATURES OF GEL PRINTING: ✔ No Press Required – Prints are made by hand using a brayer and paper. ✔ Versatile & Experimental – You can use acrylic paints, inks, stencils, stamps, and found objects to create stunning textures and layers. ✔ Endless Possibilities – Every print is one-of-a-kind, allowing for artistic freedom and creativity. ✔ Great for Mixed Media – Can be combined with collage, journaling, and painting techniques.
