Use your prints to transform a range of items into bespoke pieces of art - from bags, bunting and lampshades, to wall art and even furniture.
The beauty of gelli plate printing is its simplicity - it's easy to get started, quick to clean up after use, and suitable for painting enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. Using a gelli plate as a base - readily available to buy, or made from gelatine using the recipe in the book - Katrin Klink and Sabine Ickler show you how to create your own striking monoprinted designs. Use your chosen paint to dab, stamp or stencil your designs, and make use of everyday household items, such as kitchen utensils or vegetables, as well as store-bought stamps, to create an infinite number of patterns and textures with minimal equipment and maximum impact.
You can print your designs onto a variety of surfaces or objects, including paper, fabrics, metal and wood - even onto curved and uneven surfaces - giving you enormous scope to create your own collection of vibrant designs, perfect to decorate or use in your home, or to give as wonderful personalized gifts.
Inside this practical, colourful book you will find:
A guide to all the tools and materials you need clearly explained.
A broad range of techniques, with full, beginner-friendly guidance.
An explanation of colour theory to put into practice within your own designs.
19 achievable projects, together with many more inspirational variations and customizable ideas for creating your own uniquely printed pieces.
Colourful photos to inspire your gelli plate printing journey!
Katrin Klink is an illustrator and graphic designer, and loves everything to do with patterns. She became passionate about printing during her studies at the Academy of Art in Stuttgart. She's been a big fan of gelli printing since her first attempts, for both the experimental approach and the opportunity to develop pattern designs, as well as making very specific projects. Katrin loves the effective results gelli print plates create, all with ease and minimal equipment. Sabine Ickler loves creating new things and expressing her feelings for colours and shapes in her work. She is a graphic designer and mixed-media artist. Inspired by large, bright patterns from the seventies during her childhood, she now uses those bold colours – as vintage patterns or interpreted in a modern way – for projects such as covers for sketchbooks or travel diaries. Sabine enjoys how gelli printing offers the exciting opportunity to quickly and easily print her own patterns on paper, fabric and even on suitcases or furniture. Find her @herzfrisch on Instagram.
