Ideal as an introduction to experimental collagraph printing, or as a refresher, this course covers basic collagraph plate making techniques such as masking, layering, impressing and cutting into the surface. Understand how to create texture, line and tones from very dark to very light in your plates using a combination of everyday materials like sticky tape and sand paper. Using linseed oil-based printmaking inks, ink up your collagraph plates with increased confidence, combine intaglio and relief techniques and embrace colour. Relaxed and experimental, there is no such thing as a mistake! Leave with a mini portfolio of prints.
