COLLAGRAPHS AND MONO-PRINTS

Collagraph printmaking can be very experimental and is full of surprises; the same can be said of mono printing, so when the two techniques are combined it is double the fun! We start by creating collagraph plates from a mixture of everyday materials, these have texture, line and tone. The collagraph plates provide a basic structure that runs through a whole series of prints. Mono prints are each unique, and this looser painterly approach adds variations of colour and imagery, which can totally alter the mood and subject of each print. On this course you will be able to explore colour, shape and texture, and create several series of unique prints to take away with you. There are plenty of opportunities for creative experimentation, sharing ideas and inspiration with other students, whilst learning new skills and exploring fresh approaches to printmaking. Suitable for beginners as well as those with some experience.
