I like to start simple and then work up slight variations of the same print. These cards were printed with hand cut Tyvek® stencils and the homemade gelatin and glycerin plate.
Today I played with some Tyvek® stencils and the gelatin plate. I love the happy surprise of the black and gold print above.
With this process it is easy to make many prints quite quickly. One thing that I love is that I use just a few tools and this allows me to test and print slight variations.
If you are interested in learning more about this monotype printing process, then join us in the online printmaking workshop, Hand Printed Cards + gelatin plate.
This is a short weekend class focused on this specific technique, but will include many processes that you can use in a broader approach to gelatin printmaking.
