Kay Murray - Gelli Plate Printing
This gelli plate printing workshop will take you into an exciting print experience that is like no other. You will be able to experiment with colour and colour mixing to achieve inspiring effects. In addition, all types of materials will be used to create unique designs in print.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a gelli plate, you may be able to borrow one or you will be supplied with a recipe to make your own.
Methods explored include nature prints, using masks, creating textural prints, making a collagraph plate, using stencils and stamps as well as image transfer.
Gelli plate printing is a form of mono printing and no two prints will be the same. It is based on the traditional print method done using a homemade gelatine printing plate and this is still a valid method today despite the modern version using latex plates.
The materials required are not complicated - paper, plain fabric and acrylic paints. There will be a small materials cost. You will be working on both paper and fabric and have the inspiration of lots of ideas of what to do with your creations.
Kay Murray is a textile educator with many years of experience teaching in secondary schools and adult education. She is a practising textile artist being an active member of ATASDA, extraTexture Textile Art and Quilt NSW (Eastwood). She regularly exhibits her work.
