Grab your gel plate!
Are you bored with your gel prints?
Is your gel plate collecting dust?
Or maybe you want to try something new.
Join me for a week of Gelli Magic™ starting February 26th
During the week, I will explore three new printmaking techniques with you. Your videos will release on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so you have plenty of time to play and experiment. Then on Saturday, let's get together to use those new prints to create a quick accordion book. We'll also have plenty of time for Q&A and maybe a bit of bonus material.
Join today for free
Tools and Supplies
Your gel plate - I will be working on an 8x10 inch plate, but you can use whatever size you have

Acrylic paints - I prefer heavy body acrylics by Amsterdam or Blick, but again, use what you have
Assorted papers - my favorite printing papers are deli paper, artist tissue paper, book pages and paper right out of my printer. Use your favorites.

For our LIVE event, you will also need: scissors, a liquid glue (like Tacky Glue or PVA), a glue stick, another cereal box and your favorite markers and pencils for markmaking
Meet Mary...
Everyone needs a little creative magic and gel plates are magical to me. The first time I used one I was hooked, but over the years I slowly used it less and less. I thought I had learned everything you could do with a gel plate. Was I ever wrong! Now I think my plate is limitless and it has become my #1 art tool.
I am a full-time abstract artist working in painting and collage from my gel plates. I love to use color, pattern and texture to create my stories.
Wherever you are on your magical ride, I am here to help you create original art you love and have alot of fun along the way.
