Collagraph printing is a printmaking technique where either a plate is created by gluing or adhering various materials to a rigid surface forming a collage which must dry overnight, or mount board is drawn into, areas are cut away or scratched into to create an image, this is then varnished with shellac and dried overnight.
This textured plate is then inked and printed, resulting in unique prints with rich textures and tones. The process is versatile, allowing for a wide range of materials and textures to be incorporated.
You will create several prints to take with you.
Lots of fun and no artistic skill required!
