Collagraph Fridays (starts 29/04/22)
Start date:
29 April 2022
Start time:
10:00
| Collage offers a great way to make unusual prints with strong sculptural qualities. A collagraph is a type of printmaking, traditionally made from a collaged printmaking plate. Shapes and textures are layered on a plate and sealed with a gloss varnish. The wiping removes ink from the uppermost surface area, but leaves plenty of pigment embedded around the textural elements, and caught against the curbs of layered shapes on the collage. When the inked and wiped collagraph plate is pressed against paper – usually on a press, (but also rubbed with a baren or spoon) the resulting collagraph print is richly textured and wonderful. |
| You will receive clear step by step instructions to explore the different applications of collagraph. At the end of the session you will have the skills to be able to produce a collagraph at home. Please wear closed toe shoes (no sandals). Bring an apron or wear an old shirt as the process gets a little messy. Please note that there is two breaks during the period of this course, so it will finish a week later than other courses. Please check the dates of the course. |
