Gel Plate Printing by Susan Mccreevy

An inspiring guide to creating beautiful art through gel plate printing, collage and painting.

Embark on a journey into the addictive world of gel plate printing and explore the endless creative possibilities that this form of monoprinting offers with experienced mixed media artist Susan McCreevy as your guide. Without the need to be in a printmaker’s studio the reusable gel plates allow you to print without a press using easy-to-source materials such as stencils, household objects, flowers and leaves.

Six nature-inspired, beginner-friendly projects take you beyond simple prints and patterns as you discover striking new techniques for image transfer. Through clever layering techniques, with a focus on creating beautiful botanical artwork, Susan demonstrates how to create dynamic abstract background prints with depth and complexity using collagraphs and hand-drawn elements. Other projects will invite you to explore mixed media ideas through stitching, creating a 3D concertina book and a beautiful handmade art journal. You will also learn how to protect and present your work professionally.

With stunning photography of both Susan’s work and that of 5 contemporary artists, alongside clear step-by-step instructions, you will soon be making prints that will help you explore, experiment and create something truly your own.
