Teacher Workshop: Gelatin Prints


We had a printmaking workshop for teachers in the big green room yesterday! It was just what the doctor ordered for this time of the school year. This project was found at Cassie Stephens blogspot, so I owe all the credit to her! Making the gelatin for this printing project was not complex. I did store it in the refrigerator the first night after preparing it. The gelatin was poured into cookie sheets that I bought at the Dollar Store. So far, the gelatin has survived overnight without refrigeration after our first day workshop. Another group will be trying it today after school. The results are breathtaking! I really urge you to try it!

    1. Hi Nydia, you buy the gelatin in the grocery store - depending on where you live it's in the baking aisle. I bet you could probably order it online. Hope you can get your hands on some!
