Collagraph with Chine Collé.

Collagraph is a loose term meaning 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 can seal before using it to print.  Many materials can be used but usually: paper; paper tape; wood; plastic tape and fabric. Layers of adhesives may also be used such as PVA glue, varnish, and gesso to create mark making. We will then add colour to our plates and prints with the use of  Chine Collé and print using a small etching press.  

Chine Collé is a technique whereby we will glue 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.

Students are requested to bring along their OWN images, designs or drawings to use as inspiration.

Tutor will provide a selection of materials for this workshop. This cost is included in your course fee.
