So glad Gelli arts has taken notice of your work, you are doing some of the most original work on the plate, cheers
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!!!!
Yes and maybe even on the PLANET🎉
@@yeatesmakes Regardless of brands, your layering, colors and structure is really good stuff.
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!
Thanks for the tips!
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?
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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
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!
Lovely message, thanks, and thanks for hanging in there and supporting the channel : )
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 am learning more from your tutorials than all others combined. Great work.
Lovely message, thanks : ) have fun
@@yeatesmakesusing a foam roller with the textile paint on it is an easy way to stencil onto a t-shirt.. no need to transfer with a Gel plate…👍🏻
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.
Wow - I've learned so much in half a dozen videos. Thank you for the huge value your content provides. 💜
A pleasure to share, glad you're getting some useful tips : )
This is so sol cool!
I knew you wouldn't do anything by halves! These prints are unique!!
Thanks for sharing with us Mark.
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 😭✨️
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. 🦋
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!

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!
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!
A pleasure to share : ) have fun with it
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.
Useful info Heather, thanks : )
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😊
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!
Love this, I get so many useful tips from doing this channel. I know so little about working on fabrics so every little nugget helps x 😀
Even if it washes away this would be cool to make a unique t-shirt for one concert. Thanks for the inspiration!
That was the idea, just a bit of fun if you can't screen print at home but happen to have a gel plate : )
Howdy, ooh this transfer to Tshirts look fabulous. Thanks for sharing - great tip/techniques
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.
A pleasure to share, this was a fun one to make and, like you, I can see myself making a few presents with these techniques!
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!
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
Love back to you in Denmark. Hope the printing goes well. : )
How cool is this. Should I go down this rabbit hole.. 😂😂😂😂😂
this is amazing! love all your vids 🙌 you’re one of my fave artists thx so much for sharing ❤
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.
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 🌺
Hi Gay, it's fun! glad you'll give it a go
What a talented wizard you are! Great to see you get recognized by Gelli!
Love these shirts. Can’t wait for the Gelli print summit!
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 : )
Brilliant. Had no idea. And so nice how practical you are, makes it look doable.
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!
Really cool! I have a bunch of grungy old shirts that I wear around the house while cleaning or painting that I'll have to try this on.
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!
Thank you very much for sharing your skills.
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
Maybe the softness of the gel plate accomplishes that?
Always moving forward. I have a bunch of expendable shirts I can -lay with.
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.
What brand or paint did you use on the t shirt that lasted 20 years?
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.
That is so cool!, Thanks for sharing your discoveries
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
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.
Too Cool!!!😎 Thanks for sharing!!!
Fantastic, that's game-changing! 🎉
Constantly inspiring me ❤
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.
Dazed and amazed, as always❤
Großartig! Das habe ich gesucht. Back to the 70s Jamie Reid forever.
I am really loving your creativity!
I'd often wondered about fabric transfers. Thanks for the inspiration (as always) Mark. Looking forward to the summit with fellow gelli babies
Amazing and you are amazing artist!❤️🌹Thank you for sharing!
thanks a bunch for the variety of techniques.
Thankyou so much for sharing. This is brilliant. Clear explanation too!
Fantastic video. Thank you so much!!!
This is awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
you earn a new subscriber. You deserved it.
Very artistic and unique... nice work...Respect!
Brilliant stuff, buddy. Thanks heaps!
🍻
You are such an inspiration…I love your videos and seeing you create! Thanks Mark!
A pleasure, thanks for thanks : )
OMG I just saw the 1st few minutes and LOVE this idea❤❤❤❤❤😊
Wow, I need to test this! You are always an inspiration. Thank you!
Brilliant! Many thanks!
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!
Nice work, thanks for sharing.
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. 🤣
Nearly peed laughing at your closing comment!
Oh now we know that@@yeatesmakes is Banksy! 😅
This is 100% what I’m doing next weekend. Also- thank you. And also- jealous of your art book collection. :)
Amazing work mate. ❤
Try some screen pring ink will last longer.
Thank You for Sharing. 👍
Awesome Thank you for this, It is on my list
Amazing !! Thank you
Great results with the T-shirts!
Cool explorations! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌👍
Great video. I’m going to try this. Thank you!
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 !
Glad to know the channel is useful to you. I only have this one, though, not sure what the other channel is!!! I'm intrigued, send me a link!!
Like your work ❤ ty for sharing your own. Cheers 🎉
Excellent! Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing!😀
Another brilliant video. Thank you. Always inspiring.
Cheers Rod, glad you enjoyed : )
Your videos are AWESOME! Thank you so much!
A pleasure to share : ) thanks for taking time to comment
Grazie! Great job! Cristina from Milano Italy
This is amazing. Thx
I love it!
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.
Thank you for this!!
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. 😄
i use the gelli for a lot of our fabric art...great for ghost prints:)
Hello! What Is Ghost prints? Cristina from Milano Italy
@cristinafumagalli9876 it's the prints that you can take after the first one. They're faded and stuff but great for building layers.
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
Fabulous as always. Thank you.
: ) a pleasure, thanks for comment
INSPIRATIONAL 👍🏻
THANK YOU
Always excited when I see a new video from you.
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...
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!!
So freaking talented!!!
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
This is so sick dude!! I've been meaning to try and use the gel plate to do some DIY Punk prints on shirts! really exciting stuff 😁
The fabric of the shirt does make a difference.
I totally love what you do. Just saying:)
Very interesting, thanks
Nice job with a little practice !!!🤫🔴🫢
Holy shit! You literally just blew my mind 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Genius so cool! I had no idea. I've got to go try! Thanks
Loads of fun, I just want a month off to make loads of T-Shirts!
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
Just go for it, even it it doesn't go to plan, you'll learn something for next time!!!
