My Project

Gelli Plates are a printmaking tool that can be reused in the classroom for many years. They are easy to use, easy to clean and help students feel successful in the classroom printmaking process. The plates are easily washed, reused and use acylic paint and other classroom art materials, which makes them very economical in the school setting. During the Covid-19 pandemic, many students missed out on opportunities to make art with specific instruction and a variety of art media. This project will allow a new creative freedom for all.
