Description:
Make a collection of colorful, textured prints, then turn your favorites into a finished 8 × 8-inch collage on a wood panel.
What you’ll do
Explore Gelli plate printing, a process that uses a soft gel plate to transfer paint and patterns onto paper. You’ll experiment with layers of color, stencils, masks, and different papers, discovering new combinations as you pull each print. Then choose your favorite sections and try tearing, cutting, overlapping, and arranging them into a collage. See how a pattern or splash of color changes alongside another before adhering your composition to an 8 × 8-inch wood panel.

How to combine stencils and masks to create patterns
