Easier instructions – Make the Gelatin & Glycerin plate

I am very pleased to share with you that I have simplified the instructions on how to make the glycerin and gelatin plate for making prints.

One of my students actually simplified the steps and has graciously given me permission to share with you her discovery.

I have found that I only need 3 boxes of gelatin, 2 bottles of glycerin and 2 cups of hot boiling water.

The new trick is to really let the gelatin and glycerin bloom, before adding the hot water. And then use the microwave or double boiler to finish dissolving.
