What is Gell-Plate Print Making on Fabric?
Gell-plate printing is a form of mono-print making or, one print at a time. The gel plate is a soft, reusable, synthetic gel pad that holds the paint. Fabric is laid on top and pressed by hand. The paint is transferred to the fabric thus creating a one-of-a-kind mono print.
