Art Printing Made Easy and Sustainable!

Help me give my students reusable Speedball Gel Printing Plates to create unique prints and elminative styrofoam waste!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kopsidas's classroom raised $496

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students will have limitless opportunities with these reusable gel prints. Students can practice a variety of printing techniques with just one plate.

Because these gel plates are reusable, students will have repeated access to printing as an art form.

Styrofoam trays are expensive, wasteful, and can only be used once! The brushes for younger artists will complete our printing station so that all students can experience the magic of print-making.

My students are creative, enthusiastic young artists with a variety of modalities and interests; They thrive on choices and opportunities to explore and experiement in art!
