My mom wrote craft books in the 80's and 90's, many using textile medium. I grew up with the stuff. To heat set, we would just toss things in the dryer. I still have a shirt my mom painted for my grandma and the paint has not changed. We used various types of acrylics and textile mediums with no issues. I guess she did tend to use the mediums in the squirt bottles. It also allows you to tie dye with a spray bottle with cold water outside. I'm a big fan of textile medium lol. One suggestion for printing on clothes is to use a waxed piece of cardboard inside your garment to keep it smooth and easy to move around if you need to. The wax keeps the paint from sticking to the board. They used to sell t-shirt boards at the craft stores for this. I just recently fell down the rabbit hole of gelli plates. Now I want to see what I can do on some recycled clothing lol. Thanks for the reminder!
@@phoebebaker1575 that's a good thought! I don't use fabric softener, I use wool dryer balls. I wonder if that abrasiveness will affect the longevity of the paint on the t-shirt. I would probably hang to dry in any event but it's worth thinking longer down the path.
Truth be told, it's not Gelli Arts, it's Drew Streinbrecher who has organised the summit. He was the one who reached out. Not sure I'd be the best ambassador for Gelli Arts because I use a mix of brands and couldn't cope with the distraction of having to place their products constantly!!!!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Just watched until the end and almost fell off my chair because you mentioned me! Thank you so much…and I am so happy with the prints I bought from you…cheers from Berlin 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Years ago I did t-shirt printing with linoleum cuts. We found that it was best to wash the shirts once before printing to remove any sizing from the fabric. The printing lasts better that way.
Self-taught abstract artist here, retiring from teaching soon and want to affix my designs to tees for profit. Never knew of gel printing til now. Thank you. New sub. 🦋
Hi Mark! Great vid, thank you! To augment absorbency on the t-shirts wash them first in water with salt and vinegar (1 tablespoon of each in a gallon of water) This way you’ll get rid of starches and fats. Cheers!
We always called the fabric medium 'snot' when I was doing art foundation 😊 So cool that we can now use our gel plates for fabric transfers. Thanks for testing this out. Love a bit of Toots too 👍
I'm long overdue to add a comment--I've been watching your videos since you first appeared on youtube. Your techniques are always well worth multiple viewings. Your presentation is clear and enthusiastic. Working fearlessly has allowed you to discover some wonderful applications for the gel plate and has has been tremendously inspirational for me. I also want to mention my appreciation for your cleverly conceived artwork--your finished projects are wonderful. Thanks!
I really appreciate your narrative style over the "live" chatter. The important information is delivered cleanly and in a reasoned way. It makes for a better video in my opinion.
There are many brands of fabric paint and my shirts lasted far more than 28 washes. You can also buy a tshirt form that is made of cardboard in the art supply catalog or like I said just use some stiff foam core. I used to paint direct on the shirts or sweatshirts with stiff fabric paint brushes. You have to push it through the cotton. I still have a sweatshirt I painted over 20 years ago.
A very well-timed video given that I'd decided to make my mom's t-shirts into rags (she died 2yrs ago) but now see I could create art from them -- many thanks!
Thank you, Mark Yeates! I have learned so much from your videos about how to use my Gel plates! I have taken a couple of classes, at some expense, both online and in person, and still have to credit you with being the most informative about all the different ways I can create prints. I am mostly printing on textiles, and some of your techniques work much better on paper…but I thank you for encouraging me to continue experimenting with what will work! 0:08
I love how easy this looks. I have used textile paints on my gel plate to transfer on t shirts and I was really happy with the outcome, but now I would like to try that medium. It would give me more color flexibility. Thank you for this!
T shirts move. So get an a4 piece of cardboard and centre the printing area, then wrap the excess cloth and secure with a rubber band behind board. Make sure weave is straight. Much easier😊
Well Mark, you’ve made my day. I asked ages ago if you’d printed on fabric , & now you have. Fab results! I think the trick must be the leaving it with the weights, because if you don’t , the design doesn’t take as well. So thanks a million for heading me in the walk away from the table direction, I’ll give that a try 🌺
Cheers, was fun to play with this approach. I'm just gonna enjoy making one offs for gigs and pressies for mates with it. The summit looks really good value to me. Promo video featuring a preview of my video will be out soon with a link for booking : )
Once again thank you. In Australia the clear stuff you love is called clear book contact. Mostly used to cover children’s school books, if someone is looking for it’s name.
Thank you Yeates! ive watched so many of your videos, and I picked up a gelli plate specifically for this purpose, so you can imagine how thrilled I was seeing this one hahaha. Thank you for sharing your findings with us! love from Denmark
I’m so thankful for the generosity with which you share your methods. Thank you, thank you! I see myself printing many a shirt for myself and my kiddo using these methods.
I could not stop watching your videos last night! I love how you use 3d objects in your prints! Gritty and industrial which I frickin adore. Can’t wait to start messing around on T-shirt’s myself.
Ive hand printed hundreds of metres of fabric use block prints.. Can't wait to use my Gelli pad. I tie T Shirts and sell them at the markets .. such fun
what paints or medium did you use? i've tried block printing with acrylics and some fabric paints, but the results were not satisfying, some paints cracked and some washed out :/
@@jagnazacrylic paint isn't ideal for block printing. I recomend using speedball fabric/textile block printing ink or essdee fabrick block printing ink. Once the prints are cured, you can seal them by ironing them
the freezer paper we have here is a plastic layer on paper back. For quilting stencils, we iron the stencil plastic side down and it sticks lightly to the fabric, easy to remove later. You could do this for your freezer paper stencils on fabric before you "paint" with you gel plate. Maybe ou did this and I missed that part, I saw spray sticky - this would eliminate that step. Great info to know it works on fabric!
Mark - love your videos. Most textile artists use a padded surface to print on under the shirts (like ironing board padding) as pressure needs to get the ink into the fabric unlike flat paper
I love it that you are always so willing to freely give of your genius thoughts and ideas. You are one of the most interesting persons I have ever watched!
Thanks Mark. I'm dabbling in this gelli plate print making now because of your videos. I love your style and I'm trying out your techniques. It looks so easy in your videos, but there is a finesse to it that takes time. I've got a long road ahead of me. Thank you for your inspiring videos.
Thanks for the video! I've had an unopened bottle of textile medium for years 🥴😂 I've been wanting to experiment with transferring my charcoal drawing to a hat, but with gloss medium. I'll have to see how it works with textile medium too. Cool!
I enjoy watching your videos so much. I Always am so amazed with your results, and your creativity.! Thanks so much for sharing all of this, also congrats with Gelli arts and your contribution!
I am so glad I found your channel and this video in particular. Clear instructions + mad creativity + troubleshooting included. That’s a winner in my book. Thank you!
Thanks so much Mark. I love all your work and your videos. It's such a pleasure to learn from you. I've also been watching Tina's Art for about the same time I've been watching you and adore her work too. Much gratitude, Su.
Oh amazing opportunity to learn more about gel printing. Will look forward to this. Thank you for sharing such progress and expansion of how to do printing with the plates and how to make the stencils.
I’m thrilled - I started with your other channel and there weren’t many vids, yet you had such unique and fabulous designs - then I found THIS channel. Awesome !! Just love your work !
Great video..If you have some of those non stick paper palette pads.. iron them to fix the shiny side to fabric then add paint..with pre cut stencil of course..and I would try that left over piece of book covering plastic that you used too..cheers from Australia
You come up with the most amazing ideas! As a half Jamaican who was raised there, it's always fun when you talk about music like Toots! I'd really love to try this technique.
Hey Janina, glad you're enjoying the ideas and mentions of the music from Jamaica! Toots, The Gladiators, Augustus Pablo, Black Uhuru, The Congos, Scratch Perry, Mighty Diamonds and of course Bob, I love it all! Jamaican music had, and still does really, a massive impact in England. If you never listened to Steel Pulse or The Specials you should check them out...
Not sure if you mentioned if you pre-washed the shirts. I was wondering if maybe sizing had inhibited the one white t-shirt print. That said, every one of them are impressive and a wonderful thing to do with the gel plate. Thanks so much! 💖💖💖 I also noticed your Banksy book. It would be like Banksy to show his own book. 🤣
As someone who has had a long time interest in textiles, I was very excited by this video. Great techniques! As to why the white shirts aren't printing as well as the red shirts, I'm guessing there's some kind of finish on the fabric that's preventing the acrylic from penetrating into the fabric. Textiles are routinely coated with chemicals and heavy metals to give them a more appealing appearance when new. When dying textiles, it is recommended that you pre-wash the fabric in washing soda to remove any fiber finish and assure that the dye penetrates. Did you wash the T-shirts before you attempted printing on them?
Hi Jeka. Thanks for your knowledge, I didn't wash the white T s !!! The red one was an old T from one of my kids that had been washed many times. Best thing about having a YT channel is all the advice I get back from the community. : ) x
@@yeatesmakes , can get clothing and fabrics RTD, PFD(prepared for dying). When I was using organic unbleached fabric, it has a wax naturally on the cotton fiber that dyes faintly, unless cook in washing soda first (be careful if try).
Thank you for this great video! Ive been wanting to do this for a long time, your video and explanation makes it look so uncomplicated and the result looks so nice
Thank you once again for knowledge and inspiration! I've recently been making some t-shirts with iron on transformers for Chickasha language learners. I think the technique you taught will give me good results with a better hand to the material. .not so plastic like!!
I'm so amazed, by the unexpected efficiency of the gell and by how creative you got with it so fast. Reallyyy inspiring I will definitely try it whenever I got the chance 'in sha' Allāh +I'm already fond with T-shirt/fabric printing work imagine if i could srart a lil business 😭✨️
Wonderful video as always. I really appreciate how you use the 'tools' as tools, and not a prescription for the sort of art to create with them. Thanks for that! I saw Drew Streinbrecher's post in Instagram the other day, and was absolutely thrilled to see your name among the artists. I just may have to get a birthday gift for myself with the early bird pricing. 😄
Awesome work! I'm particularly glad to learn that the image transfers work better with the screen printing medium added to the paint. I'd be interested to learn how well the fabric medium works on paper, as well. I got some advice from an art supply store, some time ago, that you don't need to set or otherwise treat fabric products when used on paper, since they'll never be washed. I'm curious to know your experience with this. Thanks for once again pushing boundaries, here. I can't wait to see where you go with these techniques!
Hi there, I'll do a few more laser transfer with textile medium on paper and see how they go, then report back. May have just been luck, but the two I did came up very clean. Certainly on paper there would be no need to fix the colour :)
@@yeatesmakes Of course it's not going to be laundered! LOL I was thinking more in terms of [edit: long-term] adhesion to the paper, if not heat set, and its color fastness.
Yes toots a fab reggae i play it a lot. Also it’s great to watch you on fabric. I was a bit nervous to try but you’ve made it look so easy I might give it a go. Thanks Mark
I used to hand-paint t-shirts. I used acrylic paint with no fabric medium. After they dried, I ironed them and they stayed as vivid as when I first painted them. Now. I WAS painting them like watercolours but I also did ones that were more solid and they also lasted through many washes. One I painted for my husband was as vivid several years later and through weekly or bi-weekly washes. I’d be interested to see how acrylic with no fabric medium works when doing the Gelli printing.
❤️❤️👏incredible... thank you so much for your amazing teaching...was looking at some Rex Ray paper collages this week and now I want to follow your technique using freezer paper stencils gel plate and gac fabric medium onto t shirts. BTW the cheap oven liner sheet you can buy in poundland is fab to protect and set your paint when heat setting a design.Protects your iron too.thank you again..xx
You can try not using fabric softener on your tshirts before printing. They might take the paint a bit better. Just a thought. Your are doing great as always. Everything you make is so cool. Thanks for sharing your ideas and discoveries with us.
Omg. I love how they look. Love that its cardboard stencils. I have a gelli plate. Its been sitting unused for a couple months. I need to play with it. I have been on a miniatures kick making minis

How can I find your mom's books
Do you think the white t-shirts didn’t take the paint as well because of a build-up of fabric softener?
i would like to hunt down your mom's painting books. painted 80s and 90s shirts are very noatalgic and a bit of a dieing art form.
@@phoebebaker1575 that's a good thought! I don't use fabric softener, I use wool dryer balls. I wonder if that abrasiveness will affect the longevity of the paint on the t-shirt. I would probably hang to dry in any event but it's worth thinking longer down the path.
So glad Gelli arts has taken notice of your work, you are doing some of the most original work on the plate, cheers

The fabric of the shirt does make a difference.

Holy shit! You literally just blew my mind 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Brilliant! Many thanks!
❤️❤️👏incredible... thank you so much for your amazing teaching...was looking at some Rex Ray paper collages this week and now I want to follow your technique using freezer paper stencils gel plate and gac fabric medium onto t shirts. BTW the cheap oven liner sheet you can buy in poundland is fab to protect and set your paint when heat setting a design.Protects your iron too.thank you again..xx
You can try not using fabric softener on your tshirts before printing. They might take the paint a bit better. Just a thought. Your are doing great as always. Everything you make is so cool. Thanks for sharing your ideas and discoveries with us.
Omg. I love how they look. Love that its cardboard stencils. I have a gelli plate. Its been sitting unused for a couple months. I need to play with it. I have been on a miniatures kick making minis
Cardboard is so cool on gel plate - did you check out my video doing a massive pop style Bowie with cardboard?
