What is a Gel Plate?

A gel plate, also known as a Gelli plate, is a flexible surface that opens up a realm of artistic possibilities. It holds paint beautifully, allowing you to create seamless prints right at home. With a gel plate, you can use various art mediums—like acrylic paint, watercolors, or even fabric inks—to craft textured, layered designs. Each print becomes a unique piece of art, reflecting your creativity.
