Author Notes:Katrin Klink is an illustrator and graphic designer, and loves everything to do with patterns. She became passionate about printing during her studies at the Academy of Art in Stuttgart, Germany. She's been a big fan of gelli printing since her first attempts, for both the experimental approach and the opportunity to develop pattern designs, as well as making very specific projects. Katrin loves the effective results gelli print plates create, all with ease and minimal equipment.
Sabine Ickler loves creating new things and expressing her feelings for colors and shapes in her work. She is a graphic designer and mixed-media artist. Inspired by large, bright patterns from the seventies during her childhood, she now uses those bold colors - as vintage patterns or interpreted in a modern way - for projects such as covers for sketchbooks or travel diaries. Sabine enjoys how gelli printing offers the exciting opportunity to quickly and easily print her own patterns on paper, fabric and even on suitcases or furniture.
