Gelatin Printmaking in the Studio Read More »
Today, I have been using a 2″ square piece of gelatin as a stamp. I inked it and then worked into the ink to create designs and impressions. I am thinking of using this method with the kids this summer at College for Kids at Northern Essex community college. It is easy to get some very detailed impressions.

I am playing with journal type books and quickly working up some forms that I think I can use with the kids @ College for Kids this summer.
