Gelli Plate Printing: Mixed-Media Monoprinting Without a Press

I am new to creating with a Gelli Plate and this book is absolutely the best! You will never need another book on this topic. It has everything you need to create unique and wonderful works of art! Love it!

Great book ... This is a terrific reference for Gelli Plate Print Making. The information is well presented in photos and verbiage. There is so much information packed into this book that I learn something new every time I pick it up. Extremely well written ... Joan Bess has to be a professional educator and technical writer. You do not have to read between the lines ... Instructions are detailed and thorough. At the same time your imagination and creativity is definetly triggered and you are driven to do this and try that ... And what if???

I love looking through this book its eye candy for a would be print-maker- I particularly like it as the author goes into detail and shows each step of how the Gelli plate printing progresses, rather than just the finished piece. For me it is the journey of the piece which matters..some books i don't want to see step by step but this is so varied as a medium, that i think it is very useful to see each step as it changes. As a retired Art Teacher I love the way in which this book is put together, it is very informative and anyone at any stage of printmaking can use this book to help them create a great Gelli print.

Great reference for monoprinting and using Gelliplates. Easy to follow instructions and lots of good projects. Highly recommend.

This is a fantastic book! For me, a beginner, it was super helpful and informative. It’s given me so many ideas and so many colors/color combinations to use. Great photos!

I have two Gelli plates and wanted to expand my ideas on using them. This book was written by one of the developers of the Gelli printing plate so she's very knowledgeable about her subject matter. I have learned new techniques from the book and have several more things from it I want to try. The illustrations are excellent and the book is well written. I recommend it to any printmakers who use a Gelli plate. Buy the book and a Gelli printing plate too and you will enjoy many hours of art making.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is get a gelli plate. Lots to learn and love. Helps develop your creativity.

This book helped me get over the fear of trying gel print blocks. Easy to follow directions. Lots of creative ideas!
