Joan Bess and Lou Ann Gleason founded the Gelli Plate with a vision of creating a non-perishable alternative to gelatin for printing projects. After years of dedicated research, they successfully developed this innovative range. The Gelli Arts Printing Plate is known for being non-toxic, easy to clean and reusable thanks to its incredibly sensitive surface.

Easy to use, just apply your preferred medium to the plate surface, create your design on it, then transfer it to paper by pressing with your hand or a roller and then pull your print from the gel plate. Once you’ve finished using the plate, simply wipe with a paper towel and water and store in the clamshell packaging supplied.

Gelli Arts printing plates are compatible with all acrylic paints as well as many other mediums.  Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced printmaker, these plates offer endless possibilities for creative expression.
