🎨 Gel Printing Basics | Easy Beginner’s Guide to Gel Plate Printing 🎨
New to gel printing? In this video, I’ll walk you through the basic gel printing process—what it is, the tools you’ll need, and a simple starter technique to get you creating right away. Gel printing is playful, experimental, and totally beginner-friendly—perfect for art journaling, junk journals, scrapbooking, and mixed media.
✨ In this video, you’ll learn:
What a gel plate is and how to use it
The essential supplies (and budget-friendly options!)

Gel printing is all about play, exploration, and happy surprises—you never know what you’ll pull from the plate, and that’s part of the magic. Grab your paints, a brayer, and your gel plate, and let’s get started!
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.
