⚠️ What NOT to Do with Your Gel Plate ⚠️
Gel plates are an amazing tool for art journaling, mixed media, and collage—but they do need a little care. In this video, I’ll show you the #1 thing you should never do with your gel plate.
If you’re just starting with gel printing, this quick guide will help you avoid common mistakes and keep your gel plate in great shape for years of playful printing.
Whether you’re brand new to gel printing or looking to make your plate last longer, this short video will save you from a big beginner’s headache.
I’m Jennifer Akkermans, a mixed media visual artist who specializes in Intuitive Printmaking with acrylics on a gel plate. I’m known for bright, bold colors, playful patterns, and a love of happy accidents. I design my own stencils, and I can’t resist using found objects to add unexpected texture.
