FAQ
What is gelatin printmaking (aka Gelli printing)?
A fast, playful monoprint process using a soft gel plate, acrylic paint, and textures (stencils, botanicals, found objects). You roll paint, pull a print, and layer—no press or drawing skills required.

Is it messy?
It’s delightfully hands-on but controlled. We use water-based acrylics and protect surfaces. Quick set-up and easy clean-up are part of the service.
