The Crafter's Workshop Matte Gel Medium bonds paper, fabric, and lightweight embellishments to surfaces while simultaneously sealing them beneath a clear, non-reflective coating. This dual function eliminates the need to switch between products mid-project, spread it to adhere collage elements, then brush another layer over the top for protection and visual cohesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matte finish reduces glare on dimensional pieces, keeping focus on texture and composition rather than surface shine. Unlike glossy mediums that can visually flatten layered work, this formulation preserves the sense of depth created by overlapping materials. It dries clear without yellowing, maintaining the true colors of papers and ephemera underneath. The medium spreads smoothly from the jar, providing enough working time to position elements before the bond sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight fluid ounces handles substantial collage work, multiple canvas panels or extensive journal page spreads. Use it straight from the container with brush or palette knife, adjusting thickness based on whether you're tacking down delicate tissue paper or securing heavier cardstock fragments. The water-based formula cleans up easily while wet, though once cured it creates a permanent, flexible bond that withstands handling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crafter's Workshop","offers":[{"title":"8 oz. \/ jar","offer_id":47973881348325,"sku":"57698","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s57698.jpg?v=1761726637"},{"product_id":"eclectic-products-unicorn-spit-gel-stains","title":"Unicorn Spit Gel Stains","description":"\u003cp\u003eBare wood accepts deep grain penetration while sealed surfaces take a brilliant glaze layer, both embedding sparkle or metallic shimmer into the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirteen colors split between sparkling and metallic formulations, each delivering distinct visual effects.

The Crafter's Workshop formulates gesso in four colors plus clear, letting you establish the exact tonal foundation your project needs from the start.

The formula primes surfaces to accept paint, ink, and mixed media while maintaining enough body to hold texture when applied thickly.

Eight-ounce jars contain enough gesso for multiple projects while remaining affordable enough to experiment freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it traditionally as an undercoat on canvas or paper, or apply it selectively to mute busy backgrounds, unify collage elements, or create opaque barriers between incompatible media.

Gloss and frosted mediums lighten colors while maintaining body, preventing the thinning that happens when you add water or thinner. This matters when you're building translucent layers that need controlled opacity, mix with paint for pastel tones, or apply pure for subtle highlights that catch light without introducing color. The iridescent medium adds shimmering dimension to any Vitrea 160 shade, creating luminous effects that shift as viewing angles change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 45ml bottle addresses specific technical needs. The dedicated thinner reduces viscosity for detailed work or gradient washes without compromising adhesion. Frosted medium produces the satin finish that makes painted glass look etched rather than coated. These formulations cure at the same 160°C temperature as Vitrea 160 paints, ensuring compatibility across your palette. Whether adjusting transparency for layered compositions or creating atmospheric effects through strategic opacity shifts, these mediums expand your control over how light interacts with painted glass surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pebeo","offers":[{"title":"thinner","offer_id":47977649570021,"sku":"90577","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"iridescent medium","offer_id":47977649602789,"sku":"90578","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"gloss medium","offer_id":47977649635557,"sku":"90579","price":5.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"frosting medium","offer_id":47977649668325,"sku":"90580","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s90577.jpg?v=1770306125"},{"product_id":"pebeo-vitrail-mediums","title":"Vitrail Mediums","description":"\u003cp\u003eVitrail paints perform beautifully on their own, but these mediums expand what you can achieve with them. The lightening medium dilutes color intensity while maintaining body, crucial when you need translucent effects without compromising paint consistency or flow characteristics. Matte medium transforms glossy Vitrail colors into frosted surfaces, creating dimensional contrast within a single piece or achieving that etched-glass aesthetic without actual etching. The glitter medium adds reflective particles that catch light differently than Vitrail's inherent transparency, either mixed directly into colors or applied as a standalone layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach medium integrates seamlessly with Vitrail's solvent-based formula, maintaining the paint's adhesion and durability on glass and metal surfaces. You can layer mediums, frost a background, add glittered accents, then finish with lightened transparent colors. The chemistry stays compatible across combinations, so experimentation doesn't risk adhesion failure or unexpected reactions. Use them to solve specific design challenges: lighten colors for gradient effects, create contrast between glossy and matte areas, or add textural interest through strategic glitter placement.
