Welcome to the Gelli Printing with Alcohol Inks Class!

In this class you will learn how to use Alcohol Inks for Gelli Printing. Alcohol Inks are a very fluid medium with an alcohol base that mix and move to create some amazing looks!

Note: Both Alcohol Inks and Gelli Printing are not precise mediums. Alcohol Inks are Very Fluid and even if you try to create an exact duplicate of a print your loved, they will move and flow of their own accord and this creates some unpredictable and lovely results. The same goes for Gelli Printing, even if you cover the plate with acrylic paint to pull the print, sometimes portions will remain on the plate creating some unpredictable results. Embrace this and enjoy the process!
