Monoprinting fabric is a fun and experimental process. You can make one of a kind hand printed fabrics for all types of mixed media projects.
I used some of my monoprinted fabrics to make some throw pillows. I love using the gelatin plate and leaves and ferns to make beautiful botanical impressions.
I love this gelatin monotype print on fabric. I still have to find a special use for it. Maybe a journal cover. I go through lots of journals and it is nice to enjoy a pretty cover.

This is what students are saying about Monoprinting Fabric, the online printmaking workshop:
Gelatin Printing on Fabric Loved it! 3 key approaches I have learned
- bubbles/imperfections in the gelatine plate can be a good thing – it does NOT have to be perfectly smooth,
- doing a brayer rubbings on a piece of fabric and
- finally being able to get a coordinated set of prints.
Thank you everyone in the class for your comments and adding to the learning process. Erin J. from Australia

Monoprinting Fabric is an enjoyable and valuable learning experience. I will miss the daily anticipation of what new technique was coming next.
Linda provided an excellent foundation to build on, and I am grateful for her expertise and willingness to share it with us. I look forward to another class with you. Kathy I. from the US
Hi Linda, I love gelatin mono printing! Your colors are so luscious. I’m wondering what kind of paint you use if you don’t mind.
Hi Holly,
Thanks. I use mostly screen printing inks. Here is a blog post about the inks and paints that I have tried.
Enjoy,
Linda
