Collagraph loosely means a print made from a collage. Experiment with a variety of materials to glue onto a printing plate, usually a piece of card or board which you seal before using it to print. Different materials can be used including paper, paper tape, wood, plastic tape and fabric. Layers of adhesives can also be used such as PVA glue, varnish, and gesso to create mark making. These collagraph plates are then inked up and printed onto paper using a small etching press.

We will then add colour to our plates and prints using Chine Collé. Chine Collé is a technique whereby we add glue to thin papers such as tissue paper or Japanese paper and this is sandwiched between the printing paper and the printed image. This added layer of colour becomes integral to the print.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who want to improve their skills, or just have a play with printmaking.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee, although please do bring along any materials you would like to collage with.

Learn how to grind, sieve and muller raw ochre pigment to make watercolour paints and etching inks for printmaking in this one-day workshop.

Ochre is a naturally occurring pigment found in earth rich in ferric oxide. The Forest of Dean is one of these places and artist / printmaker Nichola Goff has been collecting and using these pigments in her work.

Earth pigments produce beautifully rich tones ranging through yellow, orange, red, purple and umber, they are relatively simple to process and often used for paints and dyes.

In this workshop you will learn about processing earth pigments from a raw material into a fine powdered pigment that can then be used for inks and paints. Participants will learn the techniques and recipes to produce water colour paints and etching ink, and learn monoprint
techniques to experiment with the earth pigments as printing inks.

Participants will take home a small set of earth colour watercolour paints, a tube of unique earth pigment etching ink made on the day and a set of hand-made monoprints.

Suitable for all skill levels from beginners to experienced printmakers.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.
