Class Intro - Expressive Mark Making With Gelli Printing and Collage - New Skillshare Art Class

In this art class, I will be showing you how to create many and numerous ways of mark making on your gelli plate. Some techniques are a little unconventional, and you won’t find all of these tools in your art shop. This class is going to be fun, very experimental, and you are going to learn some incredible tips and techniques for making fabulous art with gelli printing and collage.

We will be using everyday items from around your house, so don’t worry about needing special art equipment. We are also going to be incorporating recycled materials, and I am going to show you how to use that fabulous free resource to make the most fantastic prints on your gel plate. In fact, we will be making so many prints that they will cover your table, all over your floor, and every other available surface!

Then, we are going to put our favourite prints into an art journal, so that you will have a concise glossary or reminder of the great prints you made, and how you actually made them. Don't worry about having to use an expensive art journal, we are going to recycle a junk mail brochure and use this to make a fabulous collection of your beautiful mono prints.

This art class is for anyone wanting to explore the infinite world of gelli printing and collage. This class will be fun, you might get a little messy, it’s very experimental, and perfect for beginners. I will show you step by step what to do and what to use. If you are more experienced with gelli printing, then this class will give you extra inspiration and help you to improve your printmaking techniques. Adding more tools to your art making tool belt.

At the end of the class, you will have had add a fabulous time and you will be bursting with a zillion new ideas of how to create marks on your gel plate. You will have found some of your best mark making tools, and some from places you may not have even thought of yet! And I know you are going to be so happy with the beautiful art that you have created. You will also know how to use those prints and put them together into a beautiful collage.

I bit the bullet and signed up to your skillshare classes. Looking forward to watching them. I need to pull out my gel plate. It may have disintegrated by now. Years since I used it.

I loved this class. I will be starting my mark making project this coming weekend. I can't wait to have a play around.

Love your enthusiasm. I totally agree with your comments on the thrill of gel printing. Your work, however, is so very elegant and rich. Your instructions are clear, professional and fun. Will check into class on Skillshare. Thank you.

Sounds very tempting. Not done Skillshare before, can I do this class whenever? Or does it have a spesific start and I have to follow a certain progress, or can I follow my own pace? Due to moving houses, I cannot start until April 1st.

Sounds great and I love your style and enthusiasm. I'd like to look into signing up. I don't know anything about Skillshare- could you send me a link please?

I made a challenge to myself that I could not buy anything except food, medical and health items for the month of January. My birthday is the beginning of February so look out! I’ll be shopping for a gelli plate and goods!!! Do we need to do your videos live? Just found info on it!

I know the first month is free. But I’m wondering how much is Skillshare charge per month?

[claudiaheyer]

Sometimes when I pull a print, there are these annoying oval shapes of paint from the plate that I can not get rid of. Can you teach us how to avoid and/or fix this?

Why won't skillshare tell you what it costs before you sign up?
