Gelli Arts Printing Guide

Master gel printing with 28 step-by-step projects

Gelli plate printing rewards experimentation, but knowing where to start makes all the difference. This guide delivers 28 structured projects that demonstrate specific layering techniques, texture combinations, and color approaches rather than leaving you to puzzle through possibilities alone. Suzanne McNeill walks through building successful prints step-by-step, from simple single-layer compositions to complex multi-color designs that develop depth through strategic overlay.

The projects span practical applications: art journal pages with integrated collage elements, fabric yardage for quilting projects, greeting cards with professional finish. Each demonstration shows precise plate manipulation, brayer techniques, and mask positioning that produce repeatable results. You'll understand how different stencils interact, when to pull prints for optimal ghost images, and how to plan color sequences that create visual complexity rather than muddy mixes.

At 48 pages, the 8.5 x 10.9-inch format provides clear photography of techniques and finished pieces without overwhelming detail. This book functions as a working reference during printing sessions, practical guidance that helps you move beyond random experimentation toward intentional, successful print work with your Gelli plates.
