GPC

The word collagraph as a technique comes from the word collage. During this two day workshop you will create unique colour layered prints using a variety of textural materials and mark making.
You will use recycled tetra pack & cardboard plates and a variety of textured materials to create your collagraph printing plates. You will be working with scissors etching needles, Stanley knives ink rollers & other tools to translate your ideas. You will be using an
etching press to print your plates. All the inks are water washable but will satin your clothes so do be prepared with apron or old clothes. You will be able to experiment with mono printing and viscosity inking to enhance your images.

Card plates and inks & tools are supplied. Do bring some tetra packs if you have some, I will bring some as well. Collagraph printing can transfer very well to fabric. If you would like to experiment do bring some fine cotton fabric to print on.
You will go home with an armfuls of beautiful prints with lots of opportunity to play.

We limit our course numbers to 6 - in order for you to get the most from our tutors and the facilities.
