Gelli printing, also known as gel printing or gelatin printing, is a form of monoprinting that uses a flexible, gelatin-based plate to create textured and layered prints. This technique is popular in mixed media art and printmaking due to its simplicity, versatility, and ability to produce unique prints with a variety of effects.
Gelli printing is used in various art projects, including art journals, scrapbooking, image transfer, card making, fabric printing and lots more!
