Sat 11 Oct, 11am-5pm
Collagraph is an experimental, painterly printing technique that uses in-expensive materials to allow a very direct, hands-on approach to print-making. The term 'Collagraph' combines the Greek word 'Colla' (glue) and graph (drawing) referencing this process's use of collage-like methods.
During this one day course participants will create unique collagraph plates using a variety of techniques and materials, which will then be inked and printed on our century old etching press to reveal rich textural prints. You will finish the workshop with both your collagraph plate and a small edition of collagraph prints.
£70 (all materials included)
What’s Included?
All materials you will use are included in the cost of the course, but you are welcome to bring along your own if you choose. Our studios are always striving to be more environmentally friendly and use greener printmaking processes and consumables where possible.
Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?
No, but if you’d like to prepare a drawing or reference image to bring with you to use during your workshop you are more than welcome.
