A monoprint is a print that is one of a kind. In this class we will experiment with Gelli printing. Sounds weird. Yeah. It is. Using a print block made of a gelatinous material, we'll ink them up and make some gorgeous prints using color and texture and stencils. You will leave with a stack of gorgeous papers that you can use as backgrounds for other art pieces, cut them out into mobiles or garlands, bind them into a sketchbook - or anything else you can dream up.
All supplies will be provided and if you would like to bring some items to make textures, feel free. Flowers and leaves make great prints! Wear something appropriate to paint in. We'll have aprons for you to use, but we don't want you to ruin your favorite outfit.
We will cover:
Making backgrounds
Using stencils
Printing botanicals
Doing impressions in the plate to print objects
Making stamps out of cardboard and hot glue
Image transfers

Recent reviews of Mono Printing Class: Gelli Printing

  • 5/5 from Jon Armstrong, attended Oct 2026: Booked the Gelli class for a date night and hit it out of the park. The class was informative and creative and Rosalie was a great teacher!! Was at Michael’s the next day picking up materials to make my own printed cards for Christmas. Thank you for a wonderfully creative experience and making me look pretty cool to my date!
  • 5/5 from Jessica Speigel, attended Jun 2026: I had my whole design team in seattle for an onsite and this class was an incredible team building activity. Rosalie was incredible and taught us so much. The team had a great time and one person said she was going to sleep over in the studio because she was having so much fun! Highly recommend for friends and teams!
  • 5/5 from Brianna Joyner, attended Jun 2026: Incredibly fun class and Rosalie was a great teacher committed to help us succeed in this interesting craft! I will be back for more classes :)
  • 5/5 from Michelle Flowers-Taylor, attended Jun 2026: I loved it! I learned so much and enjoyed every minute of it. The teacher was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend this class to anyone who is looking to expand their creative skills.
  • 4/5 from Nancy Geiger, attended Jun 2026: Pleasant, encouraging and knowledgeable teacher. We had access to generous quantities of acrylic paint in so many colors. The gel plates were a nice, large size allowing for lots of experimentation and expression. We used inexpensive paper to learn the techniques. Recommendation: It would have been nice to have one or two sheets or more substantial paper for us to use after we had some experience with gel printing so that we could have walked away with something suitable for display.
  • 5/5 from Jada Marsden, attended Mar 2026: Rosalie was very welcoming and encouraging! We watched a demonstration and then were tasked with making our own prints. She gave tips along the way and answered any questions we had. She did another demonstration of image transferring and we tried it ourselves. Overall, it was a really fun class with lots of room for experimentation. My favorite thing Rosalie told was, "If you don't like it, just add another layer until you do." As a perfectionist creative person, the class really helped me me return to play and remind myself there's fun in making mistakes. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Jemma Radick, attended Dec 2025: This class was super fun and creative. Our teacher was very friendly and knowledgeable and had everything we needed for a successful workshop.
  • 5/5 from Marcy Shrader-Lauinger, attended Nov 2025: Great learning process which kept our group engaged but also flexibility to just go and try things. This was a fun activity for all levels.
  • 5/5 from Megan Neill, attended Jun 2025: Wonderful class! Rosalee was a great instructor- well prepared and very knowledgeable about gel printing. A very fun atmosphere. We chatted and laughed and cheered each other on as we experimented with a new medium to all of us. I hope to take advantage of more classes here!
  • 5/5 from Lyla Ross, attended May 2025: This was a fun and engaging class! The instructor showed several techniques to achieve unique mono prints (as well as ghost prints) and offered many items to create cool textures and patterns. Many of us in class thought that the prints we created would be great to bring back to the shops’ collage class, as well.
