Collagraph is an additive plate making process that has more in common with sculpture than intaglio. It has a creative freedom not found in any other printmaking media. If you are a mixed media artist looking for a new approach to your work, this is the process for you. It is free from acids and grounds, instead relying on acrylic mediums, fabrics, and found objects to create rich surfaces on the plates. The plates are printed on an etching press with dampened paper, allowing for dramatic embossment. Instruction will review basic intaglio and relief inking techniques. If this sounds great but totally foreign, no problem- no prior printmaking experience is required. All skill levels welcome.
