I first gel printed on paper and loved the detailed impressions that I was able to capture.
Then I started to experiment with printing on fabric. Quickly I realized that I needed to adjust my approach and techniques.
The first thing I changed was the inks. I have experimented with a lot of inks and paints and choose to use screen printing ink.
Another adaptation was to work on dampened fabric to encourage the transfer of ink.
Then I had to adjust my expectations and embrace the unique nature of the process. I found that I could pick up adjunct types of marks that were not directly from the gelatin plate. I was learning to make the most of the process.
That is why I put together the Monoprint Fabric, online course. It is a comprehensive class that includes 12 different techniques.
I am offering a 25% discount on this class for the next few weeks. Check out the details on the workshop page. This class is for you if you want to create a stash of one of a kind fabric for your sewing projects.
